I can remember the day many years ago I teamed up with Tubby in the Hoteliers golf tournament at Levels. He was on a 14 handicap. He told me he would sort the haggle. He said he went small. 50,50,50 which I though was 50 cents. Tubby had a blinder and we were 7 up after 9 holes. Tubby mentioned doubling up but the other pair refused saying to the shock of me they were $350 down already. I think we finished 9up. Rest is peace big fella.
