The people in Sydney and Melbourne seem to think that Brisbane is a slow, boring city with nothing much to do on a good day. Of course they re wrong, and we can prove it.

Firstly, that good day they re referring to, is more like a perfect day. It rarely rains in Queensland, even in the wet season. And if it does, it won t be for long.

So your days are bound to be full of good weather to begin with, but what do you do with all that great sunlight?

The trick to Brisvegas is, you can t just stick to all the stuff the tour guides tell you to do, or you ll be fast

asleep by lunch time. Brisbane is full of little gems that the locals don t advertise, just so they stay tourist free and less commercial. That s why Brisbanians are so fiercely loyal, they know things about their city you don t!

Remember When

How time flies. I remember back in the mid 1970’s when professional selling was easy and a whole lot of fun. We were Lone Wolfs back then. We controlled everything, we were professionals, we owned a patch of dirt. All we had to do to maintain ownership was to produce sales. We had our tools, a company car, trunk files, brochures, samples and a calendar/card file. As time passed some of us even got car phones.

Other important things to consider are choosing the right lie and the right shaft flex. The flexibility of the shaft of the club is known as the bend or flex.
