Da fuq is he doing playing a public course?!? Jesus - that should also be outlawed. Get’s a bit loose out on the public links sometime.
Surely he could’ve got a tee time somewhere on the Sandbelt.
Can’t believe it.
You're telling me mate. Look what happened the last time we teed off at Kingston Links LOL!
Gold!
Seriously - I’ve had my cage cleaned out a few times on public courses. But never once on a private course. It’s not being elitist; just from experience playing golf over 40 years.
Absolutely!!
Movies of the Kevin Sheldon era - the best!!!
Realistic, Ridiculous, funny and dark! What an era?
I wonder who Max was playing with. Hope it wasn't a Dick Chene shooting accident. Maybe it was his own club?....aha

Only St Kilda
Exactly. You just have to laugh.
Someone up there, down there or around here seems to have a permanent grudge against our club.
Dear me.
If it's someone up there then they may not be happy we have used the name "The Saints" and St Kilda which was never the name of a saint at all.
From the following article it looks like St Kilda Victoria was named after a boat, which was named after an island off Scotland which was actually misspelt and started of as Skildir, an old Norse word meaning 'shield.' This has been mis-recorded on a Dutch map from 1583, which has the name as Skildar. These same charts were revised and updated by the Dutch Government in 1592, Skildar now being misrecorded as S.Kilda.
As the Dutch were among the foremost seafarers of this time period, many other countries would base their own official charts on those of the Dutch. British chart makers who used this 1592 map as the basis for their own work, simply assumed that S.Kilda was an abbreviation of St Kilda, and recorded it as such themselves.

Mason wood? Though admittedly I haven’t followed him super closely over his years at North...
I just found out the truth about King's injury. He didn't get hit by a golf ball. Apparently, he did his ankle and then hit his head falling down the stairs at Hanners' sister's place, while playing frisbee with Jordan DeGoey's dog. Mystery solved.

My username is actually a reference to a speculative origin of the etymology of our club name. Thanks for the links.
This was my father's belief
And this is also mine:
Let the corn be all one sheaf--
And the grapes be all one vine,
Ere our children's teeth are set on edge
By bitter bread and wine.

Sounds like their was nothing Saintly about St Kilda and that the Scottish religious fundamentalist thing ended up destroying the community when they sent out Gestapo religious nut reverends to tame the wild ones on the islands..forcing them attend lengthy masses etc.,
They even spoke their own language - a very old version of gaelic.
So on Tuesday he did light running, then was limping around with ice on his ankle....it was definitely not healed yet. Then he decides to play fecking golf?

Second freak injury in two years to one of our players.
I know they have lives to live and they can't be at home in bed while injured at all times but would it be too much to ask that we don't lose players in freak Caddyshack-esque golfing mishaps and encounters with dodgy flights of stairs?

I live in Canberra and I was planning to go up for the game, but am doubting whether it will be worth the drive with a third of our first 22 missing. GWS must be getting more and more confident by the day.

I think GWS have a few stars ruled out and also have lost 2 elite players in Cameron and Williams.

Hahaha same here. Got my ticket just in case but I'm having second thoughts now.
Would rather sit through a thrashing in the privacy of my own home.

Imagine if it had happened to Paddy M. We might not be so sanguine.
You can lead a young man to potential riches and give him every thing in the world to be a success but you can't make him a professional (R. Harvey, extract from job interview).

St Kilda in Melbourne was named after an old wreck of a New Zealand ship 'Our Lady Of St Kilda' which was moored and abandoned there.
However, there is actually a Gaelic sporting club in Ireland called the ST KILDAS, and they play teams with names like NHMAITIU in County Sligo. I don't know much about them except that the area is a Gaelic speaking place (and yes, I have been there thirty years ago.) I asked an Irish friend of mine (who can't speak Gaelic) about the providence of those teams but he said that St Kilda isn't in Ireland at all and it doesn't make sense. I then showed him a picture of the scoreboard and he was surprised. He couldn't tell me about the other team either, but another mate of mine who can speak Gaelic did. It is a team called 'St Mathew' (NH means Saint or St in Gaelic).

I'm beginning to think that Max's head injury came from Ratts giving him a clip over the ear for playing golf and not resting his ankle.
Nah. Roughy hit him with a wayward drive on the 4th. Standby. There is a rumour going around there is more to this than rolled ankles and stray golf balls. Lethers on the case. Pass the popcorn.
