BRIGHT COUNTRY GOLF CLUB

If we cast our minds back to the very early days of golf, the famous Scottish golfer Old Tom Moris, said to be the pioneer of professional golf, was the son of a weaver and began golf by the age of 10, by knocking wine bottle corks pierced with nails to serve as balls around the streets of St Andrews. Who would have thought that, all those years ago, golf would be played by over 70 million around the world today.

It’s a relief that golf balls have developed into what golfers lose on a regular basis.

The Bright Golf Guru question of the week: Why do some golfers excel in the wet, while others just retreat to the clubrooms? Which golfer are you?
