On the way dari gambang ke segamat, about 15 km dari simpang empat gambang tu ada satu golf course tak tau plantation org. mana yang punya tapi kalau nak main bayar jaga RM5/- pass tu main lah till you drop!!
I like this one, very funny.
For me, when i first started I used to patron Kundang Lake (KLGCC la tu). People there are quite friendly, they welcome new comers. Even if i did not have kaki, i just registered myself and join anyone at the the t-box. Most of the time, nine hole. Course not too crowded and ask for term membership.
Monterez another well known course for new comers ( no offense, not an easy course but for some reasons, could be the price, it attracts lots for new players). Most courses are 'friendly' if you play on weekends.
May be one advice I could give based on my experience. At the beginning, i always feel inferior to play, thinking other people are better, afraid making fool of myself so on and so forth. After few rounds i found that, even the so call senior golfers, some of them are just like beginners (like me) and pukul still merata-rata. That make me feel better.
What is MOST important (in my point of view) in golf is etiquette. You may be a single handicapper but with no etiquette, i dont think you are a golfer. After all, golf is a gentleman game. The guy who introduce golf to me once said " Learn the etiquette before you learn to swing". And I find this is very true. Zainol can be a good guru is this subject.
