Crocodile Spare Ribs – Caution They Come With A Bite!
If there’s one creature on the planet that I would rather not come face to face with and that is a Saltwater Crocodile.

Cape Town, South Africa – Awash With Beaches.
For those supporters of www.golfbytourmiss.com you will be aware I am in South Africa ahead of next week’s 2014 European Tour season-opening Volvo Champions event in Durban.
However this weekend is being spent in Cape Town.

Never having previously visited Cape Town the city is awash with beaches and so much like Sydney, the beaches are right on ...
