Jason Day – if your victory this week in the PGA doesn’t inspire and motivate all of us Aussies – nothing ever will – simply sensational !
Which old witch? The wicked witch!
It’s a shame many of us don’t get to see our champion golfers (men and women) doing us proud at the pinnacle of world golf. J Day, what an inspiration, we should be so thankful that were are blessed with so many talented and gracious golfers. It’s a shame many of us will only ever see their feats on the highlight reel. Surely there is an FTA channel that can see the value in presenting the golf on TV rather than some of the other sports with their “precious” so Called stars. How can we make this happen?
