One of sport’s more surreal scenes. Imagine explaining to someone who knows nothing about golf that hundreds of excited, sleep-deprived lunatics get up at the crack of dawn to watch a 52-year-old hit a golf shot. I absolutely love it. Let’s have a week.

You know those “name a normalised scam” posts that do the rounds? It’s absolutely people being convinced to use an iron for one of the most nerve-racking tee shots in golf. You’re not reaching the burn. Aim at the bridge and unleash the big dog.
