When did you first pick up a golf club..
I must have been about eight or nine when I first had a swing. I had a club – must have been my dad’s I guess – and I took it up to the playing fields at my school with half-a-dozen balls and just hit them back and forth.
I joined my first golf club, Catterick, when I was about 12. It’s right by Catterick Garrison army camp in North Yorkshire. I used to get dropped off at the club in the summer holidays and me and three other mates would spend six weeks playing golf every day.
It’s a great way to spend four or five hours with your friends when you have all that time on your hands, as we did as kids back then.
I’m a member at Wetherby Golf Club now, so I haven’t strayed too far!
What’s your earliest holiday memory?
