I hit a 240 metre drive and followed that up with a 7 iron to 6 feet but left the putt an inch short.I float between the two, even combining sometimes. When I moved to UK to study in the early 70s I had to make the transition to SI units. It wasn't difficult and now I am, fluid.

Still teaching it in 1973. I started on SI Units in UK in 74.Given imperial measurements havent been taught in Aussie schools for over 55 years, the majority of the population only know metric.
I’m still in imperial for personal height and tyre pressure, but SI units for just about everything else.
People who like the old 3 Stooges. Slowly I turned and step by step, inch by inch……..What kind of psycho measures things in 2.54cm increments?
Tincture of Iodine?Maybe then
Given I went to med school almost 50 years ago and metric was taught then it stuck
Rumours have it it’s bigger in millimetres!I use imperial for length.
Started school in 1974?. I'd matriculated by then and started Uni. So there's 12 years difference right there. 1972 seems to be when it was started being taught in schools. I was in year 11 which means my education was based on imperial. Not Sure how teachers were teaching it in 1966 as it wasn't accepted as part of the curriculum yet.Well Mum taught primary school and they taught metric ever since the dollar came in which was in the 60s and my friend who is here for dinner is 55 started school in 1974 and only ever learnt metric.

Metrication in Australia
took place between 1970 and 1988. Before then, Australia mostly used the imperial system for measurement, which the Australian colonies had inherited from the United Kingdom. Between 1970 and 1988, imperial units were withdrawn from general legalen-academic.com
I don't forget that, I'm sure I've watched more American TV than the average person but knowing the imperial names doesn't mean you can picture or approximate the measure.And I started school in 1952. Definitely imperial for me.
Plus you forget a lot of youngsters watch essentially USA TV and film so get to know imperial measurements.
A pint of leeches please with the Guinness.Leeches in my day
Alfred Hospital Melbourne 1973, we were given a cheat sheet for Imperial to Metric and told that is what we had to use and learn. I found cheat sheet 10 years ago when moving house and donated it to The Nursing Archives.Maybe then
