S'pore Open 2006 Part deux




right then, so i've moved to PHOTOBUCKET which rocks big time andallows me to put up as many bloody photos as i want WOOHOO! and nowgetting back to hole . this is Shiv Kapur himself and there was thiswhole gang of indian expats follwing him around and they were veryvocal in their support. for instance, while waiting for chan song andchinarat to walk down from the tee box to the green, some dude went'Bhaiya! you're doing great :D" HAHAAAA! shiv was all smiley after thatbut he didn't exactly sink a birdie. but a par's pretty alright too



and here we have chinarat from thailand. the pink was overwhelmingly brightand me and ash christened him Marshmallow. you gotta have balls to pulloff an ensemble as pink as that! haha..his putter grip was brightsunshiney yellow. ahem...







and this is the moment we were all waiting for. so after shiv, chinarat andchan song left, adam's flight came in and WOW i think i almost diedwhen he was walking up to his ball. he was less than 2m away from melaaaah! his ball landed on the fringe of the putting green and rolledinto the thickest part of the rough surrounding the bunker..nasty. butits all good cos he was THIS close.(but later on, he was withintouching distance :D



adam! check out his burberry duds ya'll! neyehehe..i was also in the white cap-white top-khaki pants-white shoes ensemble.





this is what i meany by nasty. it couldn't have rolled into a worse spot in the rough but being the pro he is, he gave it some lovely loft and it landed about 5 feet from the hole. not bad.





sighhh..here he is waiting for his turn to putt. he's a lot taller in person, i'll tell ya that but that physique! later on when i got to see him tee off (camera's weren't allowed at the tee box. actually camera's weren't allowed on the course but no one really stopped me..so yeah..its just that at the tee box, spectators were specifically requested to put their camera's away) his sinewy arms and well defined back muscles and gloriously curly dark caramel locks and aquiline nose and the list goes on....i lost what i meant to say, sorry. he's so..distracting!





one of the gajillion marshall's holding up a STFU sign. hey i could've signed up to be a marshall too(i saw the sign up list at the OCC 3 weeks ago)..then i could've gotten a kickass yellow wilson drifit official shirt, and officical barcalys open cap and the lanyard and everything..AARGH! but that means i wouldve had to have been at the course all 4 days. i'd have been alright with that, but with the promos coming and all..no chance.(but then again, at the rate i'm blogging, you wouldn't know that my promo's are in 2 weeks wouldja?)





so after adam sunk his putt, i couldn't really care much for how shingo or kennedy fared on their putts so i ran off to the tee box of the next hole which wasn't far off and ERNIE ELS! i caught this just before he teed up and the marshalls were asking everyone to put their cams away. this guy is MASSIVE in person..like, chewbacca massive haha. the drive he made at this hole sliced a bit too much and he wasný happy with his shot, no sirree. but it was INCREDIBLE watching him tee off all the same. *faints and dies*





so after watching els tee off, we sorta scurried off to rejoin adam's flight at the 9th hole. this was taken at the green itself and that's shingo starr reading the undulation of the green and adam's doing it too hehe. shingo's caddy, the ddue behind him, is quite a looker too and his japanese was phwoar! sounded like music i tell you :)
