I shot 76 age 14 on a former Qld open course. Norman and Langer played there.

 

Not bad for a kid.

The world is full of 14 yo kids who can shoot 76 or better. How many of them go on to become champions at varying levels is an entirely different question.

True. I think body structure matters. Some are made for sport some not. Most good golfers are short to average. Ian Woosnam hit the ball miles was short. Langer was short. Baker Finch was tall but was a gun putter before choking later. The 6 foot 6 guys tend to lack a good short game but hit it miles. All the top players I saw had very quick wrists thru the ball. Tiger's height would be the maximum youd want.

Even as a golfer,  IMO this is priceless.

Why is golf 18 holes?

Legend says it's the number of nips one can get out of a bottle of whisky. By the time the round is finished, most golfers don't care what their score is.

Whisky is 750ml. Might have been less back then

Night skydive when visiting Zephyrhills Skydiving Centre in Florida, 14,000ft, cars formed a circle with the headlights on so we could spot the LZ, pretty exciting.

Not my own experience but ...

Years ago someone posted on Thaivisa that he and his mate got a mototaxi each from one side of Pattaya to the other. As the taxis set off his mate shouted "first one there gets 1,000 baht"

Still makes me laugh years later.

I took my son for a game of golf. On the second hole there was a tree about 40 feet high half-day down the fairway. I told my son "When I was your age, I could hit a golf ball over the to pop of this tree from the tee off. My son tried 4 times, and every time the ball hit the tree and fell to the ground.

He said "Dad, I don't believe that you could clear this tree from the tee off. No-one can do it"

I said "When I was your age, the tree was only 2 feet high"

Sounds interesting. What part of Thailand? How does one go about finding such a concert?

You would only know that if you were there, must have missed you. About 300 there in pop up beer garden. If you were there you would have known pic taken against the side of the area.

Keep a lookout for signs along the road and near wats, ramwong is a bit rarer than other types of concerts. This was in Samut Prakan

Very large troupe not seen often, ladders up to stage to go and dance with them

Seeing the "Bridge over the river Kwai" and taking the train to Nam Tok for the first time 40 years ago. It was like being in the real life movie.

I did the 5 * hotel with included light and sound show on the bridge. The 5 * hotel was a big disappointment, but the show was pretty good.
