I don't mind power per se, but just feel in tennis, cricket and golf in particular, if you are just very physical you can hit great shots without actually getting it that close to the sweet spot, because the technology helps you so much. Wasn't the case before.”
Well the diminutive Mo Martin, by coming joint second today, proved the old golf adage, "it isn't how far, it's how many."
The only downside to televised golf tournaments, is that tomorrow on my course, we'll be delayed by slow play.
There's always a few numpties who having watched such tournaments on the telly, start acting like pro golfers, taking ages over shot selection. When if as they have, played their own course so many times, if it's on the fairway, by the time you reach your ball you should often enough, have the right club in your hand.
I agreed with Alliss, marking a ball that's six inches from the hole is a bit pathetic.
