Golf has been good to me over the years. ProAm gigs at Carnoustie with Alasdair Forsyth and Cog Hill with Lucas Glover, together with a victory in the BMW dealer day Championship at Turnberry are the top highlights on my CV.
Those events have now been joined by the news on Friday that I have been appointed a Srixon golf ambassador. Srixon are a big player in the golf ball market and have recently launched a new range of golf clubs. Their subsidiary, Cleveland are market leaders where wedges are concerned. They own Dunlop in the Far East and market their golf balls there as XXIO.
So, I am now part of a big family. I get a personalised golf bag, loads of hats and a years supply of balls. I obviously need to keep publicising Srixon on my Twitter feed and in or on any other sources I can. My name is joined on the bag by Virgin Atlantic Frequent Flyer and the @GolfingSwingers logo's
There is still a chance to qualify for a place on the European team for a trip to Las Vegas to play against the Rest of the World, but I think realistically my race is run this year and I need to refocus on 2019, series 16.
So it's off to sit by the front door and await the postman.
