Straight down the middle. It went straight down the middle.
SPEAKER_00Then it started to poke When I was a young boy, I went I met my girl, my wife, when I was 14. And I wanted to get married so badly, and I was invited by Bruce Nose, a wonderful golfer and wonderful man, a great Australian called Norman von Neider. And he said to me, I won the tournament in England with a score of 70, 64, 64, 68, 70. And I beat Bobby Jones's record. He said, I'm going to give you an invite to come to Australia. I'm going to give you$10,000. I'm going to pay your airfare. And I went out there and did I love Australia. Man, I get goosebumples. I just loved Australia and the Australians. They called me Gaza, and I I just loved it. Anyway, I get quite fearful when I think of it. But anyway, so now I tell my wife I'm going to play in a tournament called the Ampole. If I win it, there's£5,000 first prize. The biggest prize in world golf outside of America. If I win it, but I don't know. They got Peter Thompson, all the good Aussie players that have never been given recognition for. And uh there's the guy like Bo Weiniger, George Bayer, people from Asia, all over the world playing. I said, gee, it's not easy for me to win, but if I do, and I believe I'm going to because I want you, baby, we're going to get married. Well, I win the tournament. And there's a guy called MacDougal. He has I win the tournament. He runs off. Now you talk about media. He runs off and he has to send my wife a telegram. Which he probably gets two days later. You know, the drum the drums really send it through. Now, young guys today have no conception about, you know, I mean, really, it's hard to tell a young guy about this. And anyway, I get married, and later on, I have six children, 22 grandchildren of all colours and nationalities, black kids, Americans, Australia every nationality. We've got our own United Nations and thank God for golf.
