• Equipment and distance debates in today’s game

• How clubs can grow the game and keep membership strong

• His dream fourball (Scotland vs. USA, anyone?)

• His work now as a coach at Mearns Castle Golf Academy

  
  

Whether you’re a keen golfer or just love hearing tour tales, this one’s packed with insights and character.
