“Perhaps I should explain that I have recently had to give up golf, for health reasons – my wife was going to kill me.
You see for some time now she’s had the ridiculous idea that I spend so much time playing golf that I’m losing touch with her and our two or three children – little whatsitsname and the other one. Actually it all came to a head at about eleven thirty last night. She suddenly shouted at me, “Golf – golf – golf – all you think about is bloody golf!”
And I’ll be honest it frightened the life out of me, I mean you don’t expect to meet somebody on the fourteenth green at that time of night.”
