Answer 1

Hi Mark

Great post. Being a keen golfer myself and playing with a 6 handicap some ten years ago, I thought this guy's individuality was unique. Never having a classic text book swing, he could manage his way around golf corses, even on bad days because of his amazing ability. And like Ray76, lets all hope he "manages" his way around his present illness and wins a full recovery soon.

A handicap of 6 is quite impressive Eddy - remind me never to play with you jejeje. - Mark-Baker, Apr 10, 2010

I did say ten years ago. It has risen since then, unfortunately with age. - Eddy, Apr 10, 2010

Answer 2

He showed that it was possible to be both a great sportsman and a great human being. Something lacking in todays sportspeople. May he get well soon.
