Golf! Golf! Golf!



To celebrate the start of the MFS Australian Open at Royal Sydney (16-19 November 11:30am-4:30pm Ch7), I thought I'd explore golf clubs.

I always thought you needed the latest titanium whizz-bang set of clubs to play golf. But if you are just learning how to play, these entry-level clubs will serve you just as well.

Went to Elsternwick Golf Course with the following equipment

PGF Clubs (RRP $30-35 approx)



The Wilson Green Machine Putter (RRP$30-35)



And the trusty Sunday bag (RRP$25)



The bag & clubs were easy to carry without all the clutter.

Saw 2 guys on the next tee with titanium sets, buggies, amazingly expensive equipment, the whole deal.

Still, they both sliced the ball into the trees, hacking their way down the fairway.

Meanwhile, my partner used the PGFs and got 2 pars!!!!

Hehehehe!!

As far as the open goes, I don't really mind who wins. I'm just glad to see golf back on the TV again!!!

I bought this comedy video from Amazon.uk - "Father Ted" (Best Of) $39.95



When I first saw this show advertised on Foxtel I thought it was one of those tedious pastoral dramas.

Boy was I wrong!!

I watched an episode on British TV's Top 100 Funniest Moments and I couldn't believe what I was seeing....



I can't even describe it. It was like complete bedlam. Mrs Doyle (the housekeeper) falling off the roof in the background while Father Ted and Father Dougal have a conversation.
A Hamster riding around underfoot, a drunken priest who speaks mainly four words:
FECK, ARSE, DRINK, and GIRRLS.

It reminded me of comedies in the spirit of The Young Ones, or Blackadder, or Red Dwarf. But maybe better. That's saying a lot.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are some famous quotes from the series:

Father Ted (1952-1998)

Ted: I'm not a fascist. I'm a priest. Fascists dress up in black and tell people what to do. Whereas priests...
...More drink!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Father Dougal

Ted: It's not as if everyone's going to go off and join some mad religious cult just because we go off for a picnic for a couple of hours.
Dougal: God, Ted, I heard about those cults. Everyone dressing in black and saying our Lord's gonna come back and judge us all!
Ted: No... No, Dougal, that's us. That's Catholicism.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ted: Maybe he's agoraphobic.
Dougal: Jack? Scared of fighting? I don't think so, Ted!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mrs Doyle

Mrs Doyle:
Won't you have some cake, Father? It's got cocaine in it. Oh no, hang on, it's not cocaine, is it. What do I mean now? - the little things... Raisins!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Father Jack

Jack: Drink! Feck! Arse! Girls!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack:
ARSEBISCUITS!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know what else to say except go and buy it. You will never look back.

ARSE!!!
