Being into Sports rather than History I decided to post thin re the Thread.......

I think he is an example to a lot of people of what can be achieved. He has achieved it in a sport which is probably more 'old school' than people may realise.

He is now the best Golfer on the planet and he has set up Charities and Foundations to help the underpriviliged.......

Great Thread Rasta........I am learning from it and wish you would post more.........

Yes I am, and dying to get my CS cherry popped. Just promise to treat the "newbie" gently? I'm sensitive.

Thanks, but I, I, I, I didn't feel a thing? Shouldn't I feel something?
