Hills Hacker 2010

What a great day! Weather was perfect, course looked good, plenty of chilled beer, no excuses for not hitting a decent golf ball. Except for the townies (Tony, Claude & John) of course, who won the 'Couldn't Swing a Pick' Award for only just managing to break 100 in an Ambrose!

The winning team (Dave, Steve J, Matt), took out the Hills Hackers Award. After squeezing in a win by 0.2 of a point they called themselves the Mad Weapons. I reckon Skinfull was a better name but they played well, especially on the back nine, hitting an eagle on the longest par 5. Steve J also took out the longest drive of the day, almost driving his ball into the eski at the clubhouse. The nearest-the-pin was funny because no-one managed to hit the green!

Thanks to all for turning up again, a great bunch of guys and a fun day.

Which pedometers should you choose?

What pedometer should you choose?



Pedometers have come a long way in recent years. They vary markedly from model to model, ranging from basic pedometers to highly sophisticated models that talk to you. Pedometers are usually worn on your waistband in a position above the knee though they can also operate on the side of your hip.
 When used in conjunction with an appropriate diet as part of a program to increase your daily exercise, pedometers can help burn energy. They can also play an important role in motivating people to exercise. Pedometers will not indicate your level of fitness. As a rough measure, when walking, about 1250 steps should be roughly equivalent to 1km and should take about 13 minutes to cover.

The most basic pedometer is a Step Counter, which does little more than count steps. One step up from this is a Pulse Pedometer, such as the P208. This is a step counter which monitors your pulse and is also a distance monitor and calorie counter. With both these units you have to stop in order to take a reading.

For those keen like to know how they are going while on the move Talking Pedometers are just what the doctor ordered. Great for walking and jogging, the P9935 model will count and announce your steps and tell you the total distance travelled.


The more sophisticated P9942 Talking Pedometer and Calorie Counter is designed for everybody’s use, not just for walkers and joggers. It can be used to keep track of your walking for the whole day at work, at home – in fact anywhere. A voice announces steps taken, calories burned, distance travelled and walking time. This model is favoured by the weight conscious.

Go you Double Blues!

Sturt makes into the 2009 Grand Final. What a great game, so close. And they're calling it an upset. Go Blues!

Can you believe I still remember sleeping outside Adelaide Oval on the night before the SANFL Grand Final. I was still at school, but it was OK to do that in the late 60's.

Chat with funnyman Alan Brough

Sitting having breakfast and ABC Radio Melbourne called and said Alan Brough was on air and wanted to chat with someone about AFL memorabilia and giftware. They said they found Central Sports on the Internet!

So, I ended up having a good chat re AFL gnomes, cake toppers and other unusual things that people buy for AFL fun!

I've seen Alan Brough a few times on Spicks & Specks, he's pretty funny!
