My “Sporty” Weekend

i would call it a green weekend, although the only thing green about it was the fact that i hit the driving range a couple of times. i can probably call it my first real connection with golf, although i have tried my hand at it earlier, thanks to vikram! now that i’ve mentioned vik, i just have to say that he’s one of the best teachers i’ve ever come across. he has the knowledge and the art of explaining it right – how you should stand, what angle / direction should your feet / club be at, what are the different kinds of clubs and what they are used for, how to swing your arms to ensure contact with the ball…and so many finer details of the game. i have to say that all his training made the game so much more interesting than i ever imagined.
so much that i actually came home and watched golf & the article on golf on my wall street journal app actually caught my attention.

for those who want to know which are the best golf courses in the us, see this – http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124000759131230357.html

per the latest numbers, augusta national has relpaced pine valley to bag the no.1 spot. not that i know too much about golf or the augusta national, but the little news that i’ve been reading, i know that women are not allowed to become members of this exclusive club – a lot of controversy surrounding this. oh well..

anyway, enough said about golf. the other interesting things that kept me busy were – bb, tennis, a little work and lots of sleep! would love to elaborate on these too, esp tennis since i just happened to notice this weekend that rafa co-ordinates his clothes with the court. it was a good final at monte carlo! hope to see some more good tennis.

now back to monday! back to work!
