Most embarrassing moment on the green – Probably this year while in Australia playing for Pine Rivers, I was due to play the club fours on a Sunday morning, after celebrating a win representing the club the day before (maybe celebrating a bit too much). I slept in and was woke up by one of my teammates searching my house looking for me. I was running late, and I couldn’t find my glasses, so I had to play our first game without being able to see very well. Thankfully I managed to find them in the house before the next game.
