CHOT Reyes stalked the 18th green of Wack Wack’s West course, carefully reading the speed and every single break in his line of putt as meticulously as he broke down opponent’s plays from stacks of game tape in his hotel war room during the last Fiba-Asia men’s basketball championships.
The golf round – which he ended with a putt that slipped by the cup and a routine tap-in for par – was Reyes’ first in close to three months, and represented a return to normalcy in his life after what had been a crazy two weeks that changed his life, perhaps forever.
“Ngayon nga lang ako nakalaro uli,” said the Gilas Pilipinas coach two days after the Fiba-Asia showpiece, not necessarily complaining but thankful to go back to his daily routine and finally have the time to enjoy golf which happens to be one of his three biggest passions in life – basketball and fashion being the other two.
