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.

Why don't golfers drive Buicks?

Because their Caddies are getting the job done.

Golfing with my dad today...

... His drive went straight into the woods, bounced off a tree limb, and ended up right in the middle of the fairway.

I said, "Nice bounce."

He said, "Nah, that was my Irish caddy: Rick O'Shea."
