Driving

Most memorable golfing moment

Playing 100 holes of golf in one day, as a kid. I did it for charity....and I slept well that night. Great experience.

Most embarrassing golfing moment

Being hit on the back of the shoulder by the then Ipswich Town Football Club physio. It was on the 18th at Stoke. It was a 3 iron....and it really hurt!!!

Major amateur events should only have one round per day
