Happy Birthday, Shark!

The Shark, that's Greg Norman for the uninitiated, turns 50 today. Despite the fact he only won two majors, I still have the utmost admiration for him as a golfer.

I have fond memories of watching him live in the 1989 British Open at Royal Troon where he had an amazing six successive birdies to start his final round. Simply awesome to witness. He finished with a 64 to get into a play-off which, in a manner totally consistent with Greg Norman golfing folklore, he blew on the final hole!

Anyway Greg, many happy returns!
