Pick your favourite ever shot at Augusta? Not the best or your top three, just your favourite stand-alone shot at the Masters Sandy Lyle, 1988 - the fact his previous shot was a 1-iron - the Mizuno TP-11 irons (and visor) - the natural talent - the trousers - the commentary

More Seve.. This time from the ‘87 Masters which was maybe even more crushing than the previous year Here he is, in an outfit sent from the gods, caressing one in close on 12 No need for bad baseball caps, nor grim advertising. Just a simple Spanish magician and his 8-iron

Some personal news.. After 46 years of playing golf I’ve had a hole-in-one. It happened on Gibraltar, Moortown’s 10th and my favourite par 3 anywhere I don’t have a favourite club but I least despise my 8-iron - which produced an eagle from 162 yards to go one up We won 3&2
