Things you hate to see… I always imagined you like Chuck Norris, no chin under your beard, just another fist.

You are a true inspiration. I wish I handled my inconsequential shit as gracefully and positively as you handle fighting cancer.

Keep doing your thing, you beautiful, strong human. You got this.

Fuck Cancer

Could not agree more - your attitude is truly inspiring (and simultaneously shaming considering how I reacted to some comparatively minor work news last week!)

Keep fighting the good fight and I’m rooting for you from the other side of the world

Even when it feels like you have no say in the matter, you will ALWAYS get to choose your attitude. Choose to be positive.

Can I pay you to come give this speech to my 7 year old? He needs to hear it…

So timely with this outlook. Was reading The First Major in the train ride home and they were discussing the outlook of Tom Watson v Greg Norman. Norman being very much “wow look at all this shit that happens to me” versus apparently Watson’s well known attitude of “watch this.” Kick some cancer ass!

Because last round you asked for fun basketball facts, #20 will be the best, just as it was for some all time NBA greats, including Gary Payton, Ray Allen, and Manu Ginobli.

Went full blue in honour of your good self for the final round of our 72-hole Longest Day challenge.
We raised over $7500 for the Cancer Society and every time it was hard or my feet hurt or I didn’t want to pick up my bag, I thought about how much easier I had it than folk battling the Big C. You’re the man, Goose.

I’ve had the honor of doing a few of those 72-Holers myself! We’ve raised close to 20K over the last 2 years. Well done, brother!

Maybe we find a way to do a Refuge 72 Hike??

Dream golf foursome?
My late grandfather, who got me into the game; my son (who’s currently four and a half); and Rory, he seems like a gentleman, as well as a good hang.

Are olives the most disgusting thing ever?
There are a great many things ahead of olives on that list, including but not limited to raw celery, kina, cucumber, watery tomato innards, people who sniff on public transport, loud chewing, and folk dancing.

F cancer indeed.

Greatest football player of all time?

Will take a similarly global view of the question and say Maradona. Saw him play live against Australia many moons ago and it was amazing to see his impact even well past his prime.

Death and Other Details

Best mascot in sports?

We don’t really do mascots in a big way down here, but hard to go past Fatso the Fat-Arsed Wombat from the 2000 Olympics…

Dream golf foursome (have gone with one golfer, one celeb and one personal)?

Rory, Springsteen (i know he’s not a golfer but i figure it’s a great way to get 4 hours with the Boss) and my grandad (again, just to get the time to ask questions I was too young and dumb to ask as a kid)

Are olives the most disgusting thing ever?

Absolutely not. Great in recipes, great as a standalone snack.

People being gross when disposing of their olive pits, however, belong in the 7th circle of hell.

Fuck cancer, go get em Goose

I consider us friends, but olive blasphemy will not be tolerated

Greatest football player of all time?

The right answer is probably Brady, but I don’t really care for him. So I’m going to go with Jerry Rice.

Show I’m binging?

Just finished Schitt’s Creek. Currently a free agent though. Looking at potential offers now. Not going to give a hometown discount, though, that’s for sure.
