Silvia Moreno-Garcia shows how wrong our perceptions of the past can be. Here, she looks at the myth of early teen marriage in the middle ages.

Originally shared by Rob Masters The Perth Disc Golf Open was held at the Pine Lines course at Gidgegannup this last weekend. We had an astounding turn-out with over fifty players from Perth, interstate, and overseas.  Despite pounding rain in the afternoon of the first day, everyone had a fantastic time, and we were privileged to see some amazing play - especially from the Women's division which is growing rapidly.
