Yes I can and I did it- “Areva Golf Champion 2008″
Finally I got the real golf cup “the Areva 2008 Golf Cup ” held at Rauma Golf Club, Finland on September 22-26, 2008. ![]()
It’s still fresh in our minds the famous slogan of Obama “YES WE CAN” after which “YES WE DID” was added after he won the US presidential election. He did it when no one believes that he can when he launched his presidential bid. For me, as if no one believed that I can be the Champion for this year’s Areva Annual Golf Championship. I know that there were a lot of better golfers than me in our company. Coming from behind at the start of the tournament, I beat the pre-tournament favourites by one stroke in the “scratch play” category and got an incredible points in the “stable ford” category. Yes I did it ! So far this is my best golf game ever. I can’t even believed it myself that as we closed the final hole and when I looked back I did but very few wild shots in the forest or into the water. How I did it? Well it’s not a secret, it’s a hard work practice, a mental conditioning and above all, a Divine intervention. To Him be the glory ! The sad part though is that I was not able to join the awarding night as I was still recovering from my operation that time. My colleague and golfing partner, Jouko Lehtimaeki, who encouraged me to start playing golf when we were working together for a project in Thailand received on my behalf the trophies. Cheers:-)
