For some unknown reason I enjoy watching Golf.
Also enjoy cycling, Test Cricket and Australian Rules Football.

I watched a bit of golf today - the new-age graphics were amazing.

You mentioned cycling, cricket and Aussie Rules but not snooker?! I could watch snooker day in and day out :D

@rinkydinkydoink I do not have pay tv. When Snooker was big in the 70s/80s I would always watch it. I played snooker in our large pool hall.
Eddie Charlton was an Aussie champion of the era.

I just now googled him and this stood out - -

At the age of eleven, he defeated fellow Australian Walter Lindrum

. Pretty Impressive :D

@rinkydinkydoink He was rather brilliant.
He set a world snooker record in 1967 by making consecutive breaks of 135 and 137. World record breaks.

I'll say!

You MUST watch your fellow Aussie Neil Robertson destroy Stuart Bingham 10 frames to 0 on YouTube (if not there is must be somewhere) in last week's World Grand Prix. It was masterful.

@rinkydinkydoink Thanks. I will have a look out for it.

You can almost hear Robertson think... he rarely made a false move.
