Of late this game of gwala gwala is eating into a lot of companies income under the guise of interaction with corporate customers, i have had a chance of being to a couple of the events but what i have observed is that its always the usual guys albeit executives who attend there are some people trying to get in but the resistance they meet is just too much. Sponsorship for soccer was taken out coz of hooliganism, can that be the main reason for shunning socer and concetrate on GyawnLF??????

What sort of resistance are you talking about?........in golf you just cant come in from the blues like what the guys do at a social football. i mean like carrying your worn out boots and an old Arsenal number 14 jersey and goes to Moneymen club, Chiwembe stadium etc and say, hey guys can i join you? Its not that.

First you ought to buy the bloody expensive carrier bag they call Golf Bag (last time i checked, the cheapest one was at K179,000.00), then the real athletic shoes - not Zonke. But thats not all, you ought to be a member of some exclusive clubs - not Pa squency club, But clubs such as Blantyre sports club, Lilongwe Golf club and of coz Gymkana Cub, where there was a Carlsberg sponsored Golf tourneyment over the weekend - HOW did i manage to finish the whole keg of drought beer?

Maybe having a caddy is the only cheapest thing that one can afford to have and not have. it doesnt make a difference really. Someone told me that there are huge sums of money that players pay.

Exactly what i meant this is supossed to be a sport who can stand the heat let them come on ad feel it. I was in Zomba thats what prompted me to write this topic, there are a few caddies who i felt are trying their level best to get into the game but bcoz of my sentiments expressed in my initial posting cannot blend in. I can mingle but am not yet interested in the sport, am getting pressure to start offers ranging from the only Malawian pro Gilliam to lowly caddy who plays some best golf Steve, if you were part of the playing team sorry mate that I hate to tell you this but thats the truth that i know. Its not about the "bloody expensive" thing u are talking about, for ur info the golf bag u are talking about doesnt cost that much i think u can hunt for it ku ma second hand merchandise dealers. For your info a brand new carlesberg golf bag cost a max of fourty seven grand (i got this info from the brands manager for carlsberg who i know personally) not bad for the beatiful bag you saw won by that guy who according to his handicap was not the best guy to win as claimed by the so called gurus in the game .

About the draft dont even mention it it was a pleasure to have some free beer for an afternoon, so it was you who was shouting and cursing when the elecricity had gone off hahahaha.

I suppose u are part of the golfin fratenity next time i am invited to another golf tournament i will kindly ask for BlackMoses to step forward so we can curse together when the free draught is finished.

Every game is expensive in one aspect or the other, its only the rate of amount you want to spend at a particular time that will determine how expensive it is. Lemme tell you guys one thing about golf its so called "expensive" coz you have to use relatively not cheap materials in the inception and then after that u have to spend at each and every go you want to play but you can defer by being you own caddy (for starters) membership isnt mandetory that you pay at once you can pay by installments ena amati "Lay bye" the clubs even kwa the second hand auctions have them courtesy of azungu kupita kwawo and the bag you can get it the same way, what if you play and win with handicap 22 like our friend did in Zomba and donated his old bag to a colleague thats the way to go man.

Did i hear that the game is expensiveconfused

not to discourage anyone but you truly have to spend more than the average sport to play golf and to maintan playing. i must also stress that even so, it is not entirely off limits.

zikavuta kungogula ma flights ndikumasewera ma darts! you spend more on the booze than the game itself!

It is painful to hear that your company has sponsored a golf tournament when your increment request has been turned down becoz of lack of funds.

I dont think it is a matter of ENTERTAINING CORPORATE CUSTOMERS no, I think it is a matter of BWANAS TRYING TO OUTDO EACHOTHER (to show off cars) BASI.
