Is Mandai a good first 9-hole round?

Open thread

I have done three lessons and can hit a 7 iron most of the time. Would Mandai be a calm place to try my first 9 holes, or should I spend more time at the range first?

I do not own clubs yet. I am not sure if I should buy a starter set, rent clubs, or wait until after a few lessons.

Keppel at Sime felt fair but not easy

Open thread

Played Sime from the middle tees. The course was in good shape, and the slopes made club choice matter. I used the club distance tracker before going, which helped on approach shots.

Champions was relaxed for a weekday session

Open thread

I went after lunch and played 9 holes. It felt less scary than a private club, and the range nearby made warm-up simple.

Tools and Scorecards / Stableford

Stableford helped me enjoy the round more

Open thread

I used the Stableford calculator after a rough front nine. It made the back nine feel less hopeless because one bad hole did not ruin everything.

I still remember the night range lights

Open thread

My first proper range session was at Marina Bay after work. The lights, wind, and city view made it feel special even when I topped half the balls.

Who else feared the pot bunkers?

Open thread

Those bunkers made me think twice about every approach shot. I miss the course, but I do not miss taking two shots to get out.

Beginner package lessons or private coach?

Open thread

I see beginner packages at several ranges. Is a group package enough, or should I start private?

Do premium balls matter for high handicappers?

Open thread

I lose two or three balls each round. Should I still buy premium balls for feel around the green?
