Just watching this movie about a guy with a magic golf club. Hardly seems to be in the spirit of fairness ... But then he is American. The guy has ambitions to win the PGA tour of whatever it's called which reminds me of when I was a rather overweight subeditor on the Reuters world news desk and got the idea that if I did some training I could get on the Hong Kong Olympic team (not too difficult) as a sprinter. It would make a change in thought and a change.is as good as a rest they say.. I trained by walking up nearby Mount Parker and occasionally breaking into a run. The training didn't last long but I kept up my walks up Mount Parker which was also where I first dabbled in black magic. My enemy Numero Uno at that time was my big boss at Reuters, Ian McDowall, Hong Kong editor at Reuters Asia. The guy whose emails I spied on by hacking the transmission queues on the Reuters computer and found a reference to the Great Game. I decided that one way of getting rid of him might be to make a wax doll mixed up with his signature ... I had no feasible way of getting hold of his hair or fingernails etc. Then I took the doll up Mount Parker and in a ceremony stuck pins into various parts of his anatomy. I decided to find a secluded place where I could take all my clothes off ... Sky clad is the witching term I believe ... In order to better summon the devil....
