One of those players who prefers red and white shirts to blue ones, if you know what I mean.
Has recently bought a new "Big Boomerang" throwing lob wedge.
Can you see a bit of flippancy creeping into my comments. I'd better stop now before as I've seen who's next.

... it follows the exact same path as your ball, which saves me having to carry it to my next shot
