Right then, golf. I have been playing since I was 5 years old. Same as football actually. I got quite good at football at one point. But as for golf, well I suppose in the great scheme of things I'm not bad. Poeple who don't play would say he must be ok, his handicap is 4! Well they don't live in my head do they? I find it the most frustrating, hardest, loveliest, greatest game ever! What other game tests a player's patience like golf?

How can I play and practice for 41 years and then play on Wednesday as if, literally, I'd never picked up a golf club before? How does that happen? I'll tell you how it happens. It's an evil game and people should be banned from playing it. Golf courses should be converted into affordable housing estates. All golf pros should be sectioned! I'd go and visit.

Lee Scarbrow my golf coach would love it in there. They could all talk to each other about swing planes and putting aids. It's all rubbish. The game is played between the ears. When that's the case in sport, forget it. Pick another sport. That's because we are weak. Human beings. Mentally weak. Yeah I hear you cry, but what about Tiger, Mickleson, Poulter? Well that's simple. They are all mad. Either that or aliens......
