HK$38
Sometimes it does not pay to go for the "latest", as I discovered learning to play golf through my iPhone.
Not having the will or the finances to play the sport in Hong Kong, I was lucky enough to get my first taste over the summer, playing nine-hole pitch and putt on Northern Ireland's Royal Portrush Golf Club championship course. I was surprised to find that it was fun, but, being clueless, I played a game that was way over par and tested the patience of the group behind.
Clearly, I needed to get some training. Golf Lessons with Jay Golden was one of the latest releases at the iTunes store and at only HK$15 it seemed a good deal. I started watching the first video: "Does your grip suit your swing?" Golden asks. With the buzzing of a helicopter in the background he continues: "What does that mean?" And then he goes on. After several minutes of meandering thought, he still hadn't told me much about the grip. I then understood why golfers have a reputation for being bores.
