When Mohamed Noorani writes, he uses the nom de plume of Sandy Parr. Sandy Parr writes mostly on golf. He loves golf, but he is not the typical, ardent, or fanatic golfer who habitually watches the World Golf Ranking. Instead, Sandy spends his time writhing and agonising just to understand why the incorrigible weekend golfers (including him) find it so hard to shave off their handicap.
He never pretends that he has the answer, or is even near to it. Nonetheless, he knows from observation that the touring pros are way ahead of the weekend golf nuts, simply because of their prowess in reaching the greens in regulation, their superiority in the delicate chipping and pitching shots, and their confidence in putting.
In other words, the pros are superior in everything. This book is a compilation of what Sandy Parr had noted about golf as seen from the eyes of a weekend golfer. Sandy would advise that the easiest shots to shave off your score are found in the short game. Chipping, pitching, and putting dont require tremendous swing speed or physical ability. Plus, they can be practiced in your backyard or living room. Having a reliable tee shot that land in the fairway is important as well.
Finding the short grass off the tee is much more important than distance, especially for high handicappers.
लेखक के बारे में
Mohamed Noorani aka Sandy Parr was educated at the Malay College, Kuala Kangsar (MCKK), Universiti Malaya, and Cambridge University.
He joined the Malaysian Administrative and Diplomatic Service in 1965 and served in various capacities for three decades. In 1996, he opted for an early retirement and then joined the private sector.
In recent years, he discovered other ways to appear to be very busy but doing absolutely nothing. He is still defining retirement. He now lives with his wife Shirley in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Noorani is fond of outdoor activities like all sports (but now, participative only in golf and tennis). He loves journeying to less charted locations and untypical touristic destinations.
But when he confines himself indoor, he delves into systematic inquiry on matters that are close to his heart, which include photography, music, writing, gadget design, and a study of golf.
His most unwavering passion is golf. If time permits, as soon as the dawn breaks, he is at the first tee of the golf course. When he is at home, he reminisces on the silly golf shots he made and eventually submerges himself in golfology.
Sandy Parr at the Nineteenth Hole is a compilation of his findings in the game of golf.
