Here's a story regarding racers and golf. The racers are 3-time motorcycle grand prix world champion Kenny Roberts and his protege-at-the-time Eddie Lawson. Kenny Roberts took Eddie Lawson golfing once back in the mid-1980s. Roberts was and is an enthusiastic and proficient golfer and thought Lawson might like it. Lawson got through just two holes, then suddenly looked at Roberts and asked, "Are you out of your mind? Is this some kind of a joke? Are you serious that you *do* this?!" Lawson then tossed the clubs into a nearby pond and walked back to his car. (Lawson went on to win the 500cc grand prix world championship 4 times, BTW.) -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
