Went with Simon & Wei Qiang to Executive Golf Course at Mandai there.

On a par 3 hole, I tee-ed off with my 5 wood and it was supposed to fade from left to right. But didn’t work out so well and it flew into the other course’s green. Simon shouted “FORE!” to the other side and the girl looks kind of stunned.

The tee-box was uphill and the trees were short. Not a good course for teeing off with a wood, seriously.

Anyway the 3 of us were playing, until about the 3rd hole when there was this French guy (who was playing behind us) asked if he could join our flight (since we have 3 only). We agreed and soon he was playing with us.

Simon told me he’s a pilot as there is a tag on his bag reading “Property of Air France.” Perhaps Air France leaves a feel golf sets in the hotel and any pilot who wants to play golf can just take it.

I scored a par, or maybe 2 pars in the game. The rest were bogey, double bogey and triple bogey. On the last hole, 2 balls fell short… really wasted. It was tough to control the power and it went into the hazard.

Then after the same we sat down for a drink, with the French guy and asked him what was he doing in Singapore. He was reluctant to disclose that he’s a pilot. First, he said that he was here on Business. Then we asked him what Business, he said Airline Business. Which is true, since it’s just a job. Then as we talk further on, he mentioned that the 777 is a good plane.
