With time to spare I found this thread from way back whilst searching some stuff on Rhodesia.

Bob, Tom is correct. There is never a shortage of great stories from your life. Cheers

Bob!

Recently I played a match with Stettner at Wolf Point.
We had a beer/toast in your honour afterwards.
Thank you.

His swing, still as helicoptery as ever, gave me a walloping while taking my money.

Cheers
Mike
Thinking of Bob, Rihc, Bill, George, Neil, Dr. Childs, & Tiger.

Mike,

Thanks for thr report on Stettner. I always thought his swing would go down well in one those Chinese acrobatic displays; but he sure could hit the chit out of the ball

Would you be good enough to IM me his e-mail address?  Thanks.

Bob,

I had lunch last week with Dylan and Peter Nicol (Jaka, google it, makes Tiger and your new buddy Nicklaus look second class!!) and his assistant "Sean" who grew up in Zimbabwe. I am really showing my age when I reference him back to Rhodesia, aka your homeland and the home of my fishing buddy, Tony Somers-Cox.

i will get there one day and I hope all is well.

What is it about the English that makes them so clever and cool?  Churchill with a short sentence would disarm an opponent (Winston Churchill & Lady Nancy Astor: Winston, if you were my husband, I'd poison your tea. Churchill: Nancy, if I were your husband, I'd drink it.)  I can't remember exactly the Sarah Miles line in "White Mischief" to express her boredom with life in colonial Kenya- something to the effect "Another f------ perfect day in paradise", but it had the perfect balance of wit, profundity, and timing.  How I wish to have experienced but a portion of what Mr. Huntley has.

MikeS- loved Victoria Falls (huge elephants, cape buffalo, and mongoose think they own the place), and the game parks in Zimbabwe.  Didn't play Elephant Hills (Player), but it looked rugged and interesting (I'm told that encounters with not-so-nice wildlife on the course are quite common).  We didn't make it to Harare, but an American who had been there for a couple of weeks said that there are two or three old private courses in the area that were really good and inexpensive.  They were having food and fuel riots at that time, but Mugabe can't last much longer (I've been saying that about that bastard Fidel for years, but he is still with us).
