Let’s fast forward to scenerio about 26 weeks from now – it’s 3pm and almost dark.

You’re playing your local course playing off the astro mat tees hitting into sodden bumpy temporary greens.

You’re swing is short and slow due to the extra layers and waterproofs your wearing to keep out the cold and rain – you haven’t seen the sun for three weeks.

The lights of the clubhouse glow in distance where a warming coffee is a more popular order than a chilled pint.

At that moment if you haven’t read the rest of this article – you will definitely remember it – wish you had and will undoubtedly regret it!

Let’s find out why…
