Anyone watch the British Open, i thought i saw The Madji caddying with his sandals on....:

Avanza, they are in bibs with the number displayed on the back and front here in Gold Circe country. Been like that for months now. Covers my Winning form shirts etc which is a bit of a pain but does give everyone the chance to see the number and is a bit more uniform with every groom having the Gold Circle colours on.

Fashion changes but what it hides stays the same

Winning form cannie be that happy, imagine the protea's having to wear another sponsor over there castle lager shirts,... do you invoice Gold Circle for the free advertising they getting on your behalf...()

An award winning company like Gold Circle does not need my help but maybe I should send an invoice anyway!<

I have noticed that on the odd occasion when they broadcast SA racing overseas the trainers and owners are interviewed and most of them are in jeans and a t shirt or a tie less shirt

Everyone to them self I suppose
