For Fathers’ Day, the family took me out to lunch, down the hill to the St Lucia golf course, where you can have a very pleasant, moderately priced, meal overlooking the 18th hole. This is definitely the way to enjoy golf as a spectator sport.

Who paid? Incidence not impact, please.
My old man got a nice laser level (as seen on The Block!) and lunch at home. Unfortunately he somehow got stuck doing the dishes afterwards. We haven’t quite got the hang of Fathers Day yet in my family.
Incidence is easy. Since the kids’ inheritance is a residual, the burden of all expenditure by any of us falls on them.
