Golf Down Under (and Around…)

I’ve played through sheep, goats, cattle, deer, buffalo, crocodiles, armadillos, monkeys, old people, and young bucks, but never kangaroos. See those two golfers in the background? I gotta tell you, that looks pretty cool. I can hear you asking yourself the same question right now: Do the ‘roos move out of the way, or do you have to play around them? Guess I’m going to find out, because I’m headed here early next year. If you can get to Australia in the next six weeks, here’s a terrific deal I just found:

Join in the action this November, as the world’s best golfers, including Tiger Woods, return to Melbourne for the Australian Masters.
