It's good that I had done some backreading on the thread before I left, else I'd be in the same situation as guy.doha's. I was supposed to come around 10-11am as well.

I felt embarrassed many times because I'm really a newbie in playing the actual game. But it really helped that the guys are nice and very encouraging. I promise to be better next Friday. I'm gonna' buy a ball to practice on.

Nice beach, by the way. Very accessible. The West Bay buildings as backdrop are awesome.
