A Sweet Golfing Victory For The Kiwi

June 20th, 2005 by Sarah King
Michael Cambel has won the US Open

The US Open website says it all. I’m not a huge fan of golf, have played only once but I can appreciate the skill that’s required to be a good club player. What it must take to be good enough for the pro circuit is something else again.

Michael Campbell, from Titahi Bay in Wellington, has been playing pro for years – always at a high standard but never quite good enough to break through. In the greater scheme of things he must have been getting appearance money because the lifestyle is expensive but what competitor is happy with “enough”? Nope, winning is what you need. And now he’s done it.

Congratulations!!!

Michael Campbell, of New Zealand, who had not survived the weekend in his last four U.S. Open appearances and owned no top-10s in a major since the 1995 British Open at St. Andrews, navigated his golf game beautifully through every treacherous nook and cranny of the 7,214-yard, par-70 Pinehurst No. 2 layout on Sunday. His brilliant 1-under 69 gave him a two-stroke victory over world No. 1 Tiger Woods, making him the first player from his country to secure the U.S. Open title. read the official story

An argument has been mooted that computer games will be the new sport. Which is quite interesting. Sports were devised to train warriers and hunters how to fight and hunt. Read the rest of this entry »

Sex and Money?!

June 17th, 2005 by Sarah King

I’ve been participating in a forum discussion over at DigitalPoint on the topic of sex as a commodity. The views have been interesting and because most of the members are male there’s a definate slant to the conversation.

Lets face it, what guy wants to think that his best feature is his wallet? Read the rest of this entry »

Statements aren’t questions!

June 15th, 2005 by Sarah King

How often in a day do people tell you things, expecting you to comprehend the hidden question?

A simplistic example

My kids and their mates then come up to me (and I shouldn’t take these philosophies and practice on them but…) and say things like

“I’ve finished my juice”
“Mmmm, so you have” Read the rest of this entry »
