My first thought was ... wha..? My second thought, after reading the blurb, was "They're both the same age?" Somehow, I had the idea that Norman was much older. Maybe it's coz I think golf is an old man's game.
"That is what gets me, we are a "throw away" society. Make an effort? Bah! That is too much like work. posted by steelergirl at 10:18 AM CST on December 15" With the divorce rate worldwide at around 50% (I think higher than that in the USA), getting married has no more allure than rolling dice. When the reading of the sunday paper causes me to come to the engagements/just married section, I can't help but wonder about which of the happy faces on the pages will be filled with frowns and anger someday. Greg Norman's marriage was a long one, Everett had a shorter marriage, but it lasted something like a decade plus. My sense on the majority of modern marriages is that the people getting married do not delve deeply into whether they love the person that they are to marry, men and women have attractions to or outright flings with others before their marriages and do not see that as a major red flag.

That's interesting, because I would have figured that Evert was much older, simply because I've HEARD of her for much longer than I've heard about Norman. As well, she's been retired for longer than he has, so it sort of implies being older.
Yes, you're right, steelergirl. And rcade obviously reads more gossip columns than I do :-).
I didn't know that, rcade. That makes it even worse, IMO. Cave_Man, I agree 100% even though I am divorced. (me, once, ex-hubby, he is on #6). owlhouse, I gotta admit, I also enjoy a good trash read (re National Enquirer) once in a while too. :)
And rcade obviously reads more gossip columns than I do I can't decide which is more embarrassing -- reading gossip columns or doing a Google search to determine when Evert and Norman jettisoned their last spouses.
