GOLD Coast man got more than he bargained for this week during a game of golf at the Hope Island course.
The semi-retired businessman was on the practice green when a foreign man approached him to ask if he and his friend could join him on his round.
The local man happily agreed and soon discovered he was talking to the stage manager for Irish rockers U2.
"Oh and does your friend work for U2 as well?" he asked.
"That's Bono, the lead singer," the stage manager replied.
The man enjoyed 18 holes with Bono and the stage manager, a beer or two afterwards, and scored tickets to Wednesday night's show.
