>>>>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? :)

In the UK, the bitrthday boy buys the office cakes :-)

>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!

Like the commercial?
