As the rain tumbled down today I flicked on the tele to watch Adam Scott et al navigate their way around Royal Sydney in the Australian Open. Scott cruised around in 68, six shots worse than his 10 birdie-barrage 62 in the first round, but still good for a four shot lead with one round to go.
Inspired, and still with the memories of the PDC rattling around in the mind, and with time on my hands, I popped down the 'pilly to hit some balls on the old practice fairway. It was great fun. And then all of sudden a Precept MC golf ball appeared out of the 25 year old practice bag and triggered a memory flash.
The ball is signed is 'Murray Lott' and dated '19.3.99'. I am pretty sure the ball was gifted to me by the signee in the Royal Sydney clubhouse following his pre-wedding championship tonk at the course. James Mackay took the cash that day if I remember with a sizzling 78 or so. I was in the hunt but stumbled, naturally, over the last couple of holes.
Happy days, then and now.
