The Sleepy John Parry Rolex Story
Thanks to reader David Voller, brother of German soccer legend Rudi for alerting me to the story of John Parry winning a Rolex Watch on the European Challenge Tour. Much is made of the fact that Parry only woke up 45 minutes before his tee time. Jeez, Iâve gone to bed, drunk, five minutes before my tee time and still made it on time! But love the quotes from Paz!
Parry said: âAs soon as I hit it, I shouted âRolexâ because I knew it was good â" although I didnât know how good. Itâs just as well it went in, or I might have ended up looking a bit stupid! A few of the lads were speaking at the start of the week about how good itâd be to win a Rolex, because you donât often get prizes for a hole in one on the Challenge Tour. So to get the first hole in one of my pro career and win a Rolex is pretty amazing. My caddie asked me if he could have it â" I said there was absolutely no chance.
âIâve had a look at them in the shops a couple of times, but theyâve been out of my price range, and Iâm glad I didnât spend all that money on one now. I donât get it until the prize-giving ceremony on Saturday night, so Iâll have to change my flights because I was due to fly back in the afternoon. But itâs a small price to pay for a Rolex, because I canât imagine my new flights will cost as much as the watch. Although Iâve now got to buy my playing partners a round of drinks, and that wonât be cheap in Switzerland! â
Straight to the Pawn Shop I suggest JP!
