I had gone to Thiruvananthapuram for a golf tournament - the South Zone Junior Golf. Visit their website: http://www.szjuniorgolf.in/ . This is the first time I am playing a tournament out of Bangalore. We went by bus to Thiruvananthapuram. It was a 14 hour journey. For my other tournament blogs click here or here.
Day 1 (When we reached Thiruvananthapuram) (Friday, 17th December 2010):
We got out of the bus and took all our luggage. Then we looked for an auto-rickshaw. We found an auto-rickshaw. Then we came and checked in to the tennis club of Thiruvananthapuram. Then my father and I got ready to eat our breakfast. Then we went to have our breakfast. For breakfast we had omelette, bread and coffee. Then we went back to our room and got my golf bag and headed towards the golf club. We went by auto-rickshaw to the golf club. Over there we first met the captain of the club. Then we registered for the tournament. Then I played 9 holes with one of my friends who had come from Bangalore. It was very hot and humid in Thiruvananthapuram. So it was very tiring to play. It was more difficult than the golf clubs in Bangalore. Then I rested for a while and then we took an auto-rickshaw back to the tennis club. Here are a few pictures.

After that we came back to our room. My father slept but I typed my blog. I typed so much that now I have finished typing till what had done till 2:54 p.m!
At 3:30 p.m we left back to the golf club. We had to go there because we had to listen to all the rules of that particular golf course. The manager of South Zone (SZ) told us all the rules and asked us if we had any questions. After that we came back to our room. I ate apple while my father went to get some food for our dinner. That time I wrote everything of what I did from 2:54 p.m to 7:00 p.m.
After that I watched TV for a short while. On TV I watched golf and a cartoon called Phineas and Ferb. After that my father came back. He had brought pizzas from Dominos! So I ate pizza then had bath and then slept.
Day 2 (The Tournament Round 1) Saturday, 18 December 2010
I woke up at 5:30 a.m. I brushed my teeth and then had bread and jam for breakfast. After that I had my bath. Then I started to add more stuff for my blog. I have now finished typing about all that I did till 18-12-2010, 06:28:15 a.m. At 7:00 a.m we left for the golf course. We reached there are 7:10. We practised for a while. Then at 7:30 we took our first shot (teed off). My game was good. After 21/2 hours we finished our game (nine holes). Then we just verified our scores and then submitted our scores. Then I sat down in the club-house for soemtime. Then we came back to our room. Then I typed all what I had done till 10:12 a.m. After that we were free till 12:30 p.m. So we went to a cyber cafe to do some work. Here is a picture of me in the cyber cafe:
After that we went back to the golf club to have lunch. I ate ghee rice and papad. After that I played on a swing in the park (golf course). Then it was time to go back. Then I came back to the room. At 3:30 p.m went to the zoo. There were many animals and it was a long walk. I liked it since I could take many photos. After a while when we were resting there was a small hill like thing that was tough to climb. I climbed it. Here are a few pictures of the zoo:
After the zoo we went to Dominos Pizza. I ate a pizza called farmhouse and I drank coco-cola. Then we came back to our room and then I slept.
Day 3 (Tournament Round 2, winners and back to Bangalore) Sunday, 19 December 2010
I woke up at 5:00 a.m. My tee-off time was at 7:30 a.m. I woke up brushed my teeth and had my bath. I ate half a banana and then had half a guava. Since I had not blogged yesterday (Day 2) I blogged about it also.
At 6:40 we left to the golf club. We reached there at 6:50 a.m. Then I practised a little and had my breakfast over there. For breakfast I had idli and sambhar. At 7:30 a.m we teed-off. My game was good. I took 52 shots (They are known as strokes).
After that I rested for little time then we checked out of our hotel. We left the bags in the tennis club and then went to a shop to buy banana chips. After that we went to the cycber cafe. Over there I typed my blog. At 1:45 we left back to the golf club to receive our prizes.
At 7.00pm we took the bus back to Bangalore.
Dear little mairpady, I am pleased that you are pleased by all that you did in TVM. Here's wishing you the very best in all your future golf (and other) endeavours. Carry your sportive spirit with you ALWAYS and may it help you all through your life where you win and lose battles. With much love and prayers.
ReplyDeletedearest Little Mairpady,
ReplyDeleteIt was fun to read all that you did at Tiruva..... , Your game is quite impressive I must say. Wish that you keep doing better & better.
BTW, you ate all the banana chips on your own?
Much love & God Bless
Chikks
BTW, nice shoes... I love your choice of clothes, you look really cool & handsome & like a total golf pro.
ReplyDeleteDear lil mairpady, some people forget about who ate banana chips all by themselves. We can remind them by not taking any kind of chips ever again for them. What say?
