After having waited impatiently a number of months, I'm now top of the list to become a member of Golfbaan de Rottebergen.

Next step is to negotiate down the price for the membership certificate to an affordable amount, get an official handicap, and it's life as a happy Dutch golfer for me.

It'll be good for me to be out in nature, network and meet new people, and improve my golfing techniques.

My new goal in life is to get a hole-in-one.
