In Papua New Guinea 85% of people live off the land they live on. They pay no rent as the land is their own. They are a warm and welcoming people that are grateful for the fertility of their land.

Tribal Jim practices his golf swing by chopping down dozens of trees a day. The trees are used to build a hut to house his support crew.
A well earned rest for Tribal Jim.

Corned beef and biscuits. Nice.
An intimidating crowd watch nervously as Tribal Jim tees off.
Socks. For the first time in his life.
Thick forest and mountainous terrain make the Western Highlands act as a barrier to the global spread of industrialisation. It also makes Tribal Jim's put from the rough seem almost inconceivable.
The arch enemy of Tribal Jim; Choppy Gary. He is in a pickle here as he unsuccessfully tries to rescue his pine cone from a disastrous tee shot.
See. Infectious smile.
