gOLf prACtiCe & mY JapANesE CarP KitE

It was a pretty sunny day today, which made me feel more like spring. This afternoon I had the chance to go golfing with my American and Korean friends. It was my first time of play golf. I didn't even know how to hold the golf club. The golf course was near campus, it took about 5 to 10 minutes to drive there. Too bad I didn't bring my camera, maybe I'll take pictures some other day when I go. I think I kind of like this sport. Not as violent as racquetball, but more fun than playing pool, which is another game I used to like.

I couldn't hit the ball at all in the beginning, and the posture we had to adopt to was extremely awkward to me. But after trying for a while, I found out that it's the posture that can help you swing the club better. I think I did pretty well today, and I will see if I can play more, since spring is coming and the weather will turn sunnier and warmer.

This is a little gift given by one of my Japanese friends. Don't really know the culture background of this, but I'll figure it out in the future. Despite the fact that I don't what this carp kite's for, but I do think it's absolutely cute.
