Mohamed Noorani aka Sandy Parr was educated at the Malay College, Kuala Kangsar (MCKK), Universiti Malaya, and Cambridge University. He joined the Malaysian Administrative and Diplomatic Service in 1965 and served in various capacities for three decades. In 1996, he opted for an early retirement and then joined the private sector. In recent years, he discovered other ways to appear to be very busy but doing absolutely nothing. He is still defining retirement. He now lives with his wife Shirley in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Noorani is fond of outdoor activities like all sports (but now, participative only in golf and tennis). He loves journeying to less charted locations and untypical touristic destinations. But when he confines himself indoor, he delves into systematic inquiry on matters that are close to his heart, which include photography, music, writing, gadget design, and a study of golf. His most unwavering passion is golf. If time permits, as soon as the dawn breaks, he is at the first tee of the golf course. When he is at home, he reminisces on the silly golf shots he made and eventually submerges himself in golfology. Sandy Parr at the Nineteenth Hole is a compilation of his findings in the game of golf.
