Golfers..more Money Than Sense

Some years ago (20 ish) Coca Cola tried to rent the round house opposite Royal Birkdale when the Open was there, rumour had it that the figure offered was £250,000. Apparently they were going to paint the outside rendering to look like a Coca cola can, the deal was that they would repair any faults in the rendering prior to painting then a complete re work after the Open, pay for a two week holiday where ever the owner wanted plus the moolah. Mad owner turned them down.
Imagine the stable of steeds you could have bought with that amount!
