'You must be good at golf' and 'You must play all the time' are two sentences regularly thrown my direction, given the job that I'm in, but in reality they couldn't be any further from the truth.
The tee shot went about as well as it could have done for a ball not on the green, missing the Coffin bunker, the sand the other side of the putting surface and clearing the thick rough that Romain Langasque found before quickly withdrawing earlier in the week. A decent chip gave a strong chance of an unlikely par on one of the most iconic par-threes in golf, although in the end it was a nervy putt for bogey after knocking the initial downhill attempt several feet past.
