Quit Golf?

Been watching the 2013 PGA chiampionship on and off last weekend becuase star hup give free viewing. Expecting to see Tiger Wood showing his color but it was rather disapointing. But then again, why Tiger Wood? He is old and he is out and my pleasure of watching should be depending on him! And hence i decided that from now on i should not thing of there is no golf when there is no Tiger. So i say, it is also fun to watch the rest of the 3 very atheletic players like, Adam Scot, Justin Rose and Roy Mclrory. There were at the leader's list into day 2. But, came the 3rd days and this guy with the big tummy shot a 63 and lead the pack. I got no more interest to wake up at 2am. and after he won on the final round i lost my interest to paly golf totally. I say to myself, if golf can be played by any over-eating, over enduching people then it is no longer a beatiful sport. and i started to ask myself should i continue to play golf? Is there something else i can do with that 4 to 5 hours per game thing? And i know i will always be playing the kind of silly golf that duffing the ground and driving into forest and water and over putting by the same distant it come in. i am wondering! it also set me thinking if i want to wast my yong daughter's time by introducing golf to her? an idea tha croop up just two weeks ago.

Once a year post!

Been a long time! Seem like this is going to be a yearly thingy. Life is quite flat these days. regular routine and no major target since completing the marathon last december. Is cooking up idea to set a major challenging goal again. May be doiong a PHD! Hahaha. Mind might be too old to take the stress. Thinking very hard. The lesson from the marathon training workshop really help me to lead a healthier life. The chemo doctor turn health educator say he is sick of treating patient for the past 30 years. now he want to teach people how not to get sick. And he say to do so there are 4 points. 1. Sleep well (8 hours). 2. Eat right (caveman diet). 3. Stay Active (walk, run, cycle, swim!). 4. Have a positive perspective of life. I am trying to be deligent follower! So that i can stay healty and not rely on medicine to live. And also to be still able to clim mountain with my now 10 year-old daugther when she turn 21. Well, but spirit is welling but the flesh is weak. I told myself no more marathon and now i only try to run 3 times a week. 5K on weekday when kids boarded the school bus and before i get ready to go office. 8 or 10 k on weekend morning. after each run i do 3 set of 7 chin ups, 20 sit ups, 20 leg raise and 10 elevated push up. been doing this for the past 1/5 years and seeing my 6packs. Not bad. hope i could keep this routine for the rest of my active life till 70? Then i will switch to walking.
