UK golf courses. Petition your local MP to find out if there are any stipulations under which the ‘exercise of golf’ can be actioned. It’s worth a try. 1. Tee times at 20 mins. 2. No hole / flag touching. 3. Car park to first tee, 18th green to car park. 4. Clubhouse shut.

Mental Health needs to be a priority for @EuropeanTour and @PGATOUR ~ hotel rooms are lonely places. There also needs to be a better support mechanism for journeyman professionals who at 38/39/40+ find themselves without a card in their hand thrust into a world outside golf.

The dumbest question in golf: ‘how do we get more juniors into the game?’. The smartest question in golf: ‘how do we get more parents to get their children into the game?’. Parents have transport, money, incentive, community awareness and hopefully.....hopefully, the influence.

Friend Butch Harmon has been the most successful golf instructor since 2000. Why? He is 'method less'. If you have a system or a method, give it up - its a pathetic crutch that will always have limitations. Instead - learn and use it all.

Hogan’s set up was incredibly balanced, you could slice in him perfectly in half with a sword. Why is this equilibrium important? Because the better your body sits on the fence, the more neutral your path will be. Tilt right or left, path reciprocates.
