O.T. Why Aussie's are REAL men!

Came across this little article about golf in Australia.

I mean, I have heard about water hazards but this is insane....

Enjoy the link.

Hopefully they allow mulligans.

Great, just great! Now the PGA is going to try to one up the Aussies! Can't do sharks so that bunch of hyper-weenies will probably go for Claymores on the 9th and a flamethrower trap on the 18th hole.....

LOL.

Many of the golf courses in my city feature resident mobs of wild western grey kangaroos. Obviously not quite as much of a hazard as sharks but its best not to rile up fully grown male kangaroos, they can do some serious damage.

An Australian guy that used to work with my wife and I was knocked out cold by a 'roo. When he was younger and had first got his driving licence he 'borrowed' his mums car without permission and clipped a 'roo on his way home. He got out to check the damage and the 'roo kicked him pretty much across the road

You haven't mentioned the deadliest, most diabolical trap of all--American beer disguised as Aussie beer at the "19th hole!"

I was saving that one....on the next Masters that Tiger Woods takes part in...his ex-wife will be waiting in the sand trap with a nine-iron!

This year for the first time that I can remember there has been a big TV advertising campaign for Budweiser here in Australia. It really confuses me. Budweiser is rat's pish, no self-respecting Aussie would drink it. Matter of fact from what I have heard from my American friends, many Americans refuse to drink it too.

True....but the worst beer has got to be Shlitz....the last time that I saw any cans of this beer-colored water, the liquor store was throwing cases of it in the dumpster!

As for Budweiser in Australia, just another chapter in why the world hates America....
