SINGAPORE - Thirteen years ago, Abdul Hadi Uda Thith's father spoke to him about pursuing a career in golf when the former was about to enrol at the Singapore Sports School.

Ahead of his second year on tour, he had set two goals: Win a tournament, and get a spot on either the Asian Tour or Japan Golf Tour. He told The Straits Times:"Of course is a setback ... But you can look at it as a chance to take a bigger step back, analyse your game and set a training plan for the next few months to see what weak areas you need to work on."

"It's definitely a bit frustrating but there's nothing much we can do now, so I'm just looking forward till the circuit breaker is over and I can get back to practising," he added. Now subsisting on his 2019 and 2020 tournament earnings of about US$15,000 and US$2,000 respectively, he has had to be more prudent with his spending. But he noted that his golf-related expenses are covered via a sponsorship from Peter Ku of Kuo Group.
