Forgive my gloating, but after 80 years of coming up dry, Australia
won their first ever Olympic speed skating gold medal at the last
Winter Olympics. Headlines here were 'accidental gold medalist' and
the phrase 'Do a Bradbury' has entered the local lexicon. Bradbury
is generally acknowledged as the luckiest Olympic champion in the
games' 106-year history. The victory was so utterly unexpected that
many commentators at first attributed the medal to "Austria". :)

Back on topic, it might be fun to have a season-ending
"Golf Olympics" team event (with Netherlands the hot favourite).
Hmm, I wonder if Eugene and Ton have ever met each other in person.

If any golfers from Australia have been playing in the TPR series,
please let me know off list. I know, I know, I'm lonely.
