My Golf Kaki academy

[Sponsored event]

A few Saturdays ago, Wei and Kang were invited to putt at My Golf Kaki Academy. Daddy thought this was a good experience, after all, he only know a little bit about “birdie”, and we met Tiger Woods in Hong Kong.

Daddy is a greenhorn when it comes to the gentleman’s game.

While waiting for everyone to arrive, Boon Kang mimic driving the buggy.

Our pro (coach) Gabriel and Jay show us the correct grip and posture for the swing. We need to build a solid foundation before we can tee off effectively.

We told our Pro that the nearest we got to a golf course was on Nintendo Wii’s PGA tour. The online version did not have so many rules and regulations πŸ™‚

With Practice comes perfection. Although we are not hitting the bull’s eye yet, slowly but surely, we pick up momentum and technique.

Brothers learn that Golf can impart positive traits like Discipline, Determination, Focus, and Perseverance. Tiger Woods started his golf career from 3 years old !

Daddy joined in for some fun too.

For the next stage, we pop by a mini field to learn about putting and chipping.

Kids must remember to use less force (no longer Full Swing), just aim for the hole and lightly tap.

It looks easy when we see the pros in action, effortless chip, roll, and goal. Somehow, the slope and gravity are against us. Despite the warm humid atmosphere, we rally each other on.

Our first time stepping on Tanglin Public Golf Course. The first hole is 96m away, kids are tired already ooops.

Thank you My Golf Kaki Academy for the invite, we had a fun afternoon with our fellow kakis. More fun photos are available from SengkangBabies and MyGolfKakiAcademy Fanpage.

Do pop by Daddy M (Wacky Duo) and Edmund (EdUnloaded)’s experience too.

To quote from My Golf Kaki Academy’s PR contact :
“Golf is not only a physical but also a mental game. At my golf kaki Academy, we hope to develop and nurture an interest for golf through the teaching of golf skills as well as the introduction to golf etiquette and core values. Honesty, respect and courtesy are some of the core values which we want to impart to students with the aim of building their character and shaping their learning experience in positive and meaningful ways.”

Easter celebration at 7Adam

[Sponsored Review]

Think Easter, and kids link the festival with Eggs and Bunny. Easter is much more significant to the Christians, and you know we are not Christians, when Daddy need to reference Wiki πŸ™‚

Anyway, we were invited to 7Adam’s Eggventure activities to celebrate Easter.

Daddy was apprehensive as he knew 7Adam is famous for both dining and it’s own arts gallery. Will our kids be able to eat “gracefully”, and avoid knocking down some prized arts collections?

7Adam’s PR agency reassures us that they understand that kids will be robust and active, and their Easter activities are designed with Family-Bonding in mind.

In addition, the special Easter menu is prepared by Chey Reynaldo, who has trained with two-starred Chef Thierry Marx and held positions in acclaimed restaurants in Evian and Bordeaux.

That brings us to the Deviled Eggs with Ikura πŸ™‚ .Kids scrap the egg yolk while Daddy and Mummy are left with the Ikura. (Mummy is not complaining)

Kids love the bird-nest lookalike omelette. The crunchy nest is made from yam.

Eggs galore ! Kids discover there are so many ways to savour our eggs.

Capsicum soup. Tomato sourly with a tinge of sweetness. Boon Xin (our girl) finished almost half the serving.

Adult’s main dish is baked Tenderloin cooked to medium rare. Kids love the crispy bacon, and we discover that Boon Kang does not mind some rare beef !

If the beef is a tad too raw, younger kids should enjoy the pan seared Chicken cordon bleu. The french fries (and ketchup) always work wonders for our kids’ appetite.

Desserts round off our brunch. Strawberry tartlets (1st pic below) for kids and orange cakes for adults.

Guess our kids prefer tangy Orange or Strawberry sweetness?

The highlight for the kids are the egg drawing activities.

Ooops sorry, we miss out Mr Bunny. All the kids were curious about the bunny’s gender and kept hugging him.

After the painting, kids last activity was to search for the eggs. 7Adam’s staff would hide painted-eggs “Kinderjoy eggs”, before the kids go hunting.

Thank you 7Adam for hosting us, our kids enjoy the EggVenture menu (both food and drawing). More photos are available on our fanpage.
