Three things you didn't know about me.

[Eag's]

I thought it might be interesting to start a thread like this so feel free to contribute.

1. I have played golf both right & left handed.
2. I only have 60% hearing.... even though my wife calls it selective hearing
3. I was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck cutting off my airway.... may explain a few things

That does explain lots - confused, won't listen, and a choker.

1. I was a twin, but the other baby didn't survive birth.
2. I was born 10 pounds 13 ounces (probably why my twin didn't survive)
3. I skipped Grade 8

[BrisWesty]

1. Year 9 was the first year I spent 2 years in a row at the same school.
2. I broke my left arm on an Outward Bound school camp in the Grampians about half an hour before I was meant to go abseiling for the first time. (The pain of not abseiling was greater than the pain of breaking the arm.)
3. My brother and I were the first white kids to attend a Ranwadi High School in the New Hebrides when my parents taught there in the late 70s.

[CobraSS]

1. I went to primary school with a longtime Ozgolf Member, pretty sure he does not remember. I played junior cricket in the same team as this person.
2. His father was our coach for at least one season.
3. I recognised him the first Ozgolf game I played back at Horton Park (2004?) but didn't say anything until now.

Who is it??

[henno]

[CobraSS]

Moe?

[Eag's]

Was the primary school in Oakey?

[CobraSS]

Yes

[Eag's]

Then I would assume it would be me?
Wow! that was a long time ago, 1981 I think?
Good to see my memory is intact

[goughy]

And that Horton Park game would have been an ISG game I believe!! I was in your group wasn't I Cobra?

Yes, 1981 1982, I remember coming third in the 800m in grade 7 behind you and Paul McEwan, can't remember who won but I think it was Paul?
I recall that there only 5 of us in the race.

[CobraSS]

Yes thats right it was an ISG game so it would have been 2004.

[AndyP]

Yes thats right it was an ISG game so it would have been 2004.

February 20, 2004, if I remember correctly.

[CobraSS]

Clipping from paper from a bygone era 1981 Under 11's I believe.

[henno]

Wow!

[Eag's]

Double post.

Ahh now the memories are coming back
I won that race by the way and then went on to the inter school carnival and got smashed
I used to love living in Oakey, playing footy & cricket, I had some good times there as a kid.
That newspaper clip is from when we went up a division wasn't it?
I do remember getting our arses handed to us quite often in that grade

[Eag's]

Andrew, why haven't you told me before now that I went to school with you?
I am flat out remembering what my mates in high school used to look like let alone primary

This thread makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside.

Henno, just how f#cking old do you think I am??

These guys are talking about primary school the year I was born!

[henno]

Henno, just how f#cking old do you think I am??

I actually know how old you are, and it's (just) younger than me. So yes, I didn't really think that through.
