Luck rituals in the Australian Open.

I was golfing in the Australian Open for the first time. I noticed all the pros were putting various condiments on their clubs. Salt on a putter, brown sauce on a driver, ketchup on a 9-iron.

I my caddy why they were doing it, and he explained that an Australian thing for good luck.

Now, by that time I had already shot straight into a sand trap so I said to him: "Too bad I didn't know about it. I really could use some of that luck right about now."

He just smiled...

...and gave me a vegemite sand-wedge.

Dad on the tennis.

So I'm watching the Australian Open with my friend and my dad. This is how the conversation went.

Friend: Have you noticed the trend of the top 4 tennis players all having a good forearm.

Dad: Yeah I have. Well we all know that the only thing that is better than a forearm is a fivearm.
