Golfing The 3G Way

Mention of 3G in an era of 5G and upcoming 6G? Sounds obsolete!

Well, we are talking of another 3G! Three generations golfing together. Now what do you say?

Ghumakkad has been blessed to play a round of golf- the 3G way. It was in California in the summer of 2025 that my grandson, son-in-law and I played together for the first time. You may browse the following picture story to feel that first-time excitement.

3G Again

The 3G Way happened again in June 2026, and this time in India. We were fortunate to play together. And our 11-year-old grandson also joined us in Secunderabad. Sharing below few pictures of 3G-golfing.

Fellow golfers in India would know that we can afford the luxury of a caddie. Hiring a caddie on golf courses abroad costs a bomb. On a scorching summer afternoon, we had to protect Naman with a golf umbrella. 

But with the windy conditions, he found it difficult to handle the large umbrella. His caddie offered to hold the umbrella as well. See the short video below courtesy Ankur .

Our eldest grandson Ansh, who goes to IIM Shillong later this week and is not an early riser, also joined us for a nine-holes walk the next day. That is the power of golf! Few more pictures below.

The 3G Way continued in Secunderabad for the next 5 days! Sharing few more pictures.

Time to thank our caddies!

If you are a golfer too, do share your experience and the thrill of 3G golfing!

Why Do People Play Golf?

For exercising, keeping fit, making friends etc? None of that. Ghumakkad has a different take. Read the story below.

Why I Love Golfing? - Because of the greenery, flora and fauna on a golf course. Unpolluted air, variety of trees, shrubs, flowers, changing seasons-- all of it makes golfing a treat!

After a trans-continental flight, you can fight the jet lag with a round of golf. And if you fire a hole-in-one, you forget the jet-lag all together! The picture story linked below recreates the excitement.

Rolling Pin and Golf Club - Is there a similarity? And does it help you win a woman's heart?

Golf and Yoga - So much alike. Ghumakkad unearths how?

Thank God Its Monday - Why do the Veteran golfers love Mondays?

You are Never Too Old for Golf - Addiction at 85? Yes, teeing off in the darkness.

Hope you saw how golf encompasses so many facets of our life. If you are a golfer, cheers! If you are not, it is never too late to start golfing.

Rolling Pin and Golf Club

"The way to a man's heart is through his stomach" goes the old proverb. Simply stated it means that cooking food for a man is a good way to win his affections. What about the way to a woman's heart? Ghumakkad has a take on this. "The way to a woman's heart is through her kitchen"! Sounds silly? You can try it out! Of course many guys may also say that the way to a woman's heart is through shopping! But it is the kitchen- take it from me.

Kitchen is fine but what do you do if you don't know how to cook? Learn to cook buddy. Never mind if you have been married for 42 years and haven't entered the kitchen except for leaving your soiled plates. You are never too old to learn! This is exactly what happened to me the other day. 

With a frozen shoulder, Neeta was in pain trying to roll the dough for making savouries and snacks for our upcoming travel. Ghumakkad jumped in and confidently held the rolling pin. To do what? I took a deep breath and recalled the golf pro's lessons 25 years ago on how to hold a golf club. Not too firm but not loose either. I did the same with the rolling pin. Thereafter, it was smooth sailing. Rolled the dough and cut the pieces for frying- all by myself! Big job- eh! And thus I found the way to my woman's heart albeit after 42 years! So you guys, what are you waiting for?

Being an engineer, has some plus points. Such as slicing the dough in straight cuts and parallel lines. See the picture.

Another set of parallel cuts this time perpendicular to the previous set! Sounds complicated? See the picture. 

How does the finished product look like? 

Now you know the way to a woman's heart. Go try it. If you succeed, thank me. If not, try again!

Life is enjoying such tiny moments, day to day chores and helping each other. Hope you enjoyed browsing the short story.
We end with a picture of another favourite pastime of Ghumakkad-- watching the sunset together!

Thanks for browsing. Stay connected.
