Funniest thing you’ve seen on the golf course?
Playing at Torksey in a competition with a playing partner l had never met before, who wouldn’t stop talking about himself. On the 7th hole he left his trolley near the pond while we walked to the tee; we turned around to see his trolley in the pond – the only time all day he was lost for words.

Family and watching my son play cricket.

Stop Thinking Start Living. It’s all in the title.
Your luxury item and why?
Toiletry bag – cannot go a day without a shower.
And finally … your ideal fourball?
Colin Hunt who has sadly passed away. He was the person who got me playing golf. Seve. Having followed him around the Oxfordshire golf course in the old Benson & Hedges tournament l am certain it would be entertaining. Ben Hogan. I would like to witness his fantastic swing live.
