AS a sequel to my earlier column "play golf, forget your age", may I humbly name at least two of my contemporaries who are still as active, if not more active, on the golf course. Without fear of being sued for divulging in what age bracket they belong, they are Councilors Edgar Cabanlas and George Goking.
We, the three "super seniors", are accompanied on the golf course by younger golf addicts (not our caregivers, of course), namely, Councilors Ian Nacaya and Joey Abbu, Ton Resma, Atty. Sam Rollo, and Atty. Albert Daba III.
For those who are not familiar with the game, every shot in golf offers a different angle of challenges. Every lie of the golf ball is definitely far from being similar to any other.
The game of golf may be played under any kind of weather. If it drizzles, a golfer may continue hitting and holing balls, or even donating balls to ravines and lakes. The game may be played "rain or shine."
The game need not be expensive. Used golf balls are sold at much cheaper prices in golf courses either by the club itself, in a pro shops, or by caddies. These balls are the lost (or donated) ones and are recovered from lakes, ravines, and from the rough sides of the fairways by "pulot" boys.
The cost of golf club sets need not be that expensive, too. There are many pre-loved sets that are offered for sale, and which are very much usable like new.
If you plan to start playing golf, be sure to have in your shoe rack some non-slip sneakers.
