One of the most iconic songs of all time - Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’ was originally released as a ‘b side’ to her relatively unknown single ‘Substitute’ And was randomly selected from a previously unreleased studio session merely to fill the space available.

During the third round of The Open Championship at Royal Birkdale in 1991, Richard Boxall was just two strokes off the lead when he suffered a stress fracture of his left leg while playing his tee shot on the ninth hole and had to withdraw, on a stretcher, from the tournament.

And you call me the twit.
I do indeed.

At least Richard Boxall didn’t give up playing golf after three minutes as he “didn’t like it” AKA “I couldn’t hit the ball and everyone was laughing at me”.

Who said I couldn’t hit the ball? My first outing was with three mates on Lupset course in Wakefield, they were regular players, I came second, I just did not enjoy it & would rather have gone fishing, as stated in another thread I was good at Rugby but didn’t enjoy it, at cricket I was the best bowler in my school year but hated cricket, I persevered with football because I loved it even though I wasn’t the best, I used to cycle a lot (yes you heard right) I actually made my own bike from a Claude Butler frame & used to race at Roundhay, sport is all about enjoyment, if you don’t enjoy it then don’t do it.
