>>>Congrats on the hole in one. When my brother finally got one he talked about it for months. It was great what it did for him generally.

>>Thanks. It took me 25 years to hit one. Probably take another 25 for it to happen again.

>You realise, Sam, that you mightn't be celebrating if you'd got the hole-in-one in Japan? There you'd have had to buy all hands an expensive gift - not just a round of drinks at the 19th :-)

Yeah, because tradition has it that something good is about to happen to you..... Ha Ha.
No wonder golf is only for the wealthy in Japan and Korea.

And similar 'tradition' occurs throughout asia. Like on your birthday, guess who buys dinner? :)

All I could afford was a pitcher of beer, order of nachos and pizza. I'm glad this happens only once in 25 years... I'd be broke otherwise. :)

a pitcher of Coors Lite: $6.50
a order of nachos: $12.00
a order of large sausage & mushroom pizza: $16.50
a moment of greatness on the golf course: PRICELESS!
