Dream handicap: 5 more than my anchor

How long have you played golf? 30 years

How did you catch the golfing bug? My bro is a very good at all ball sports and I'm the opposite. Golf handicaps meant that we could finally compete on a level playing field.

What's currently in your bag? Cleveland Classic XL 12*, Callaway Black-X 17*, Cleveland Mashie 20/23/26, TEE XCG-3 6-PW, Callaway X Forged 50/54/58, Ping Shea H

Dream golf purchase: An 8 bed cabin overlooking Kangaroo Valley 8th or 17th.

Favourite golf course played? Kangaroo Valley with 9 mates (Best course was National Old)

Dream golf destination or trip? Can't beat playing every Wed. morning 5 mins away. (National, etc. in Victoria, if I had to travel)

If you could pick three others, dead or alive, to play a round with, who would they be? Virge666 (who is great to watch), my bro (who can talk swing mechanics to Virge), and my mate Scummy (so we can sledge each other for a free steak lunch, and a vanilla slice for each NTP.)

If you could pick three OZgolfers to play a round with, who would they be? WBennett, Grunt and Lagerlover (before he is world famous and starts charging appearance fees).

Favourite golf memory? Won four matches to make quarter final of club better-ball matchplay, and partner can't make the next match. A week of emails and phone 'conversations'. I took them on single-handedly to win 2 up. I stood on the 18th green feeling like Steven Bradbury.

Have you ever had a hole in one? If yes talk us through it. As close as Jana Pitman winning an Olympic medal.

Most embarrassing golf moment? Lynwood 2012 vs. Par with Ozgolf. 7 wipes, 2 halves on front nine, then 7 consecutive wipes. Standing on the 17th tee with -14, looking at -16 and thinking 'Will this rate worse than a 17 on the last at Magenta? Or a 8 and 7 banner?'
(btw. Nailed two pluses for a -12)

Favourite current Tour player: Angel Cabrera

Favourite golfer past or present? Why? Jack Nicklaus, mainly for his cartoon-like instruction books.

Favourite Australian Golfer: Tony Gresham

Whats your favourite club? Why? No favourite. Treat 'em mean, keep 'em keen. (4 hybrid pisses off the opponents the most.)

What is the strongest and weakest part of your game? Strongest - Straight driving and long putting. Weakest - Clubhead speed and Adolfs.
