April Golf Report

When you think of golf in April, the Masters Tournament surely comes to mind. And if you follow the Masters Tournament, then the 12^th hole at Bangkok’s new Dream Arena course will look familiar to you. In fact, the entire back 9 of Dream Arena would seem familiar to you. I’m quite familiar with the back 9 at Augusta National Golf Club, and therefore I played this replica 9 with a lot of confidence.

And that is how I came to be walking up the 18^th hole with a one-up lead that I would retain to bring my record in this, another undefeated month, to two victories, no losses, and two draws. I am quite proud of the two draws. In each of those matches I was one-down standing on the 18^th tee and in each match I played the 18^th with aplomb to even the match.

I have to give some credit for my astonishing record to Srixon and the Z-STAR. I have been playing various Srixon balls over the past few years but since I started using the Z-STAR for every match last fall, I have run off a streak of 9 wins, no losses, and 3 draws, each of the draws coming with a win on the final hole. I’ve made an eagle and two birdies in a four hole stretch to pull away for a tournament victory at Boracay, been compared to Manny Pacquiao, and am undefeated now for more than five months. 

Last night I went to celebrate another undefeated month with friends at Bangkok. Bangkok, you ask, or was it Tokyo? Bangkok is quite a multicultural city and I found myself at this izakaya in the center of town for a quadracious evening. I don’t know how long I can sustain this undefeated streak. A number of friends are looking forward to our upcoming matches. Stay tuned for the May golf report coming up a month from now in which you will find out how I have fared and how my superb Srixon Z-STAR balls performed.
