As they say, a bad day at golf still beats a good day at the office.
The Scene: The Holden Scramble at Wainuiomata. What a course
The Players: T, P, and DD. P and DD expected T to carry the day.
Team talk at 9, practise at the course 9.30-10 and at the tee at 10.15 [...]

It will be a short one tonight, as the bishop said to the priest … oops, I mean actress.
I’m in training for the Holden Scramble.
While it may sound like a mad dash for a car wearing a black t-shirt and a mullet, it is in fact a golf tournament for wannabees.
I wannabee long and straight [...]

Just experimenting – see what happens when I post twice in a day.
Those little blue pills would obviously help.
No, seriously, it’s good to experiment.
Like the All Blacks need to experiment every now and then.
Imagine if Tana got injured. The All Blacks could do something crazy like play a player at centre who’s never played [...]

Big weekend coming up – golf (actually off the blog and onto the course) on Friday then the GF on Sunday.
As Foxy said, you can’t expect us professionals to keep it up all the time.
Especially if we don’t have a supply of blue pills.
Enjoy the rest. Chill out. Relaaaaaaax. But don’t relax [...]

Grant Fox – legend that he is – has come out in the Sunday Star Times and claimed that playing rugby’s not a real job … it’s harder.
Give me strength!
A real job involves working for 40 hours a week on less than $20 an hour with a mortgage to pay and a family to feed.
Somehow, [...]

First things first – before I wrote this post I had to create a category for soceer.
The KnightMarez, the A-League, the World Cup … none of these things demanded a post.
A Kiwi playing for a team beating Man U … now THAT demands recognition.
What is strange is that the media seems to have got over [...]

Imagine this … in ten years time, the NPC Division 1 final is between the Tasman merged entity and Hawkes Bay. And no, I’m not on crack.
Compare that scenario with the NRL.
So it was a 500-1 change that the Tigers meet the Cowgirls in the Final Final. What odds will you give the [...]

Watched the footy tonight, mate.
Not that toffy-nosed yawnion or aerial ping pong bastard game played in Melbin – the true blue game, mate.
Jeez, those Kiwi blokes played well – you would have thought they had been promised an extra dole payment or some fush and chups! Ha ha bloody sheep shaggers.
That Far-toohey-rar … he was [...]

I refused to listen to the Shield game tonight for the obvious reason that I knew the result … sort of.
It was obvious that the script would go something like this.
Wellington will take a lead or at least be in contention.
They will score a moral victory, be robbed by the bounce of the ball, soem [...]

I must apologise to both of my readers (I’m using a little license here and have at least doubled the number of readers who traverse these pages).
I wrote my previous post when I was sober.
What was worse, I appeared to take myself far too seriously. In fact, I seriously took myself too seriously.
My concern [...]
