Great time of the year!

The start of the back nine at Lingdale can trip up any decent round. A couple of longish par 4s with a reasonable amount of difficulty are followed by a short par 4, which is all uphill, could serve as a training ground for Himalayan Sherpas and which ends with a well protected, tricky two-tier green.

As you make your way to the 13th tee, your mind scrambled by the previous three holes, you pass through a small wood. With the bluebells blooming at this time of year, your stroll through this sun-dappled Shangri-La calms the senses and lowers the blood pressure, enabling you retain a semblance of control over your next tee shot down the hill, where your ball rolls to a satisfying halt in the middle of the fairway - or hooks into the farmer's field on the left or shoots into the ditch to the right.

Hey, I only said the bluebells offer peace of mind - not perfection.

Hopefully it won't be too obvious if you take the plunge and read You! A Golf Guru!, but although I have spent decades writing for a living, I've never written a book before.
 
It's been a real slow burn, over several years, as I gradually realised I'd collected enough anecdotes and thoughts to commit to paper in the hope that fellow golfers would see where I was coming from, would identify with some of my ideas and experiences and, hopefully, would be interested in sharing their own stories.

We've all got our own ideas on the game and I'd be gobsmacked if mine are a perfect reflection of anyone else's. That's why I'd like to hear from you.

Why do you play golf? What's your best memory of the game? Favourite course? Most useful golf tip? Biggest nightmare... and how you got past it?

I'll be looking at these issues in future posts, but if you have any answers to hand then share them here
- plus any other nuggets - with the rest of the golfing world.

Cheers.
