18 Holes with Ben Leong by Joe Carlos

in the star newspaper 12th Oct,
that golf spread available every 2nd week of the month,
i realized, i've not read newspaper for the longest time!
it was Amanda's expression "wah his picture damn big",
which means the article would be long & personal right?
personality stories are so much more better to read,
indeed it was, i had to laugh when i saw this comment again
"Ben struck me as a little shy..."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the article reinforce how important/influential his dad is to him,
it reminds me of our past conversations, sometimes what ben said,
will make me feel like such an ungrateful kid to my parents......
essentially we dont know how a person's mentality is made of,
so we cant really say for sure why and how he is today,
but to me he knows his blessings and knows what he has to do,
like, speaking of his dream career to play in US Tour,
"I’ve got age on my side so one step at a time.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
its just the beginning of his career,
and i think this win elevated him a pool of opportunities
"Victory at Seri Selangor meant a 2year exemption on the Asian Tour.
It has also opened the door for Ben to play choice events like the
US$5 million HSBC Champions tournament in Shanghai,
the US$5 million Barclays Singapore Open,
the US$2.25 million UBS Hong Kong Open,
the US$1 million Hero Honda Indian Open as well as the
US$1 million Kolon-Hana Bank Korean Open."
wah, that means, i can see Nick Dougherty + Ben at the same time!
from the article, i still think there are much more elements
that you cant decipher in just one round of golf with a person,
the writer did his best, and with more publications like this,
i hope younger kids can be inspired by ben lor.
that will be fun/nice to see!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
which reminds me of engseng, we're suppose
to checkout his asiantour video eh.
