I was wondering how long he had to go. The last time I saw him in public life (on TV) was at tournament and he looked very frail.

Vale Peter, did much good for the Australian Golf community.

Country golfer on a City course.

I'm good, but no-one seems to care.

Now I find out a French au-pair is NOT a breed of goat!

Never been to the Sudan

Is it really your ABC?
