00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: over the weekend, which is quite incredible actually from Rose Christian.

27
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: I live in Cranbourne. March last year, our daughter went

28
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,199
Speaker 1: to the UK on a working holiday and lived down

29
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: in Exeter, big state, down on the east coast of

30
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: the coastline of England, and was teaching at a local college.

31
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: One day, another teacher asked her what part of Australia

32
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: she was from, and she said Melbourne. He then proceeded

33
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: to tell about a friend of his that had moved

34
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: to Australia a couple of years ago, and how sadly,

35
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: to the health reasons, they couldn't take one of their dogs,

36
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:47,760
Speaker 1: and that dog is now with this guy. My daughter

37
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,559
Speaker 1: asked where his friend moved to and he said Melbourne.

38
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 1: He does a radio show there. My daughter asked what

39
00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: his friend's name was, and he said Christian. She said,

40
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: oh my god, I think we listened to his radio show.

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: It turns out they did. They took our dog. We

42
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: couldn't bring our dog got is very very ill and

43
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: they said he wouldn't make the move out here, so

44
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 1: we had to give our very close friends George.

45
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: This is my friend George. That's you. Yeah, yeah.

46
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 1: They She met her daughter was chatting guy, my friend

47
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: George who has Buddy.

48
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.

49
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,360
Speaker 1: When I got the email of me, we kind of

50
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: read it to my wife and kids. My wife actually

51
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 1: started crying because we did sadly we could bring both

52
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: of our dogs here. I remember actually writing the story.

53
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: So it was actually a really sad but we couldn't

54
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: bring Buddy out here. And remember the publishers at the

55
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: publishing company said, don't put that in the book.

56
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: It's too sad.

57
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 1: Poor Buddy, great dog, Cocker Spaniel, brilliant, brilliant dog.

58
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,800
Speaker 2: But that is what are the odds?

59
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: You're channel George, he does still have Buddy, Jackie Boy,

60
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: you've got a story for what are the odds?

61
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,080
Speaker 6: Yes, say, I was almost quitting golf until you begged

62
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 6: me to give it one more try. So I went

63
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 6: and got a lesson yesterday afternoon. As he's teaching me

64
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:02,839
Speaker 6: to hit to swing the ball, I've missed the ball

65
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 6: completely and hit under it hit the rubber tee at

66
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 6: the driving range, It's flicked around and then the ball

67
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 6: has landed back on the tee again. If I not

68
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 6: explained that well enough, because it was amazing, and the

69
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 6: coach said, I've never seen that before in my life.

70
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: I'm trying to understand what happens. That's something it is here.

71
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: What happened.

72
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: It's got the little rubber teat the ball sets on

73
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: when you're training how to tea up.

74
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 6: Yep, I've hit it in a way that I've gone

75
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 6: underneath the golf ball and just hit the rubber teat.

76
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 6: The golf balls moved like a centimeter into the air,

77
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 6: so it gets vertical vertical on the air ball, the

78
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 6: rubber teat does its little spring back and forth, and

79
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 6: then the ball as it's coming back to rest, the

80
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 6: ball lands back on the tee.

81
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: And oh there's more. Oh, don't do this is what

82
00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 2: kids do.

83
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 6: And that coach has my old dog buddy.

84
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 5: What.

85
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,440
