There's a lot of fantasy about what Scotland is, and the shortbread tins and that sort of thing.

The great Jack Nicklaus summed things up neatly during a charity match on the Old Course at St. Andrews where he and I were playing against Ben Crenshaw and Glen Campbell. I asked him what he considered to be the most important factor to overcome in the game of golf. His reply, "It's an unfair game."

I met my wife through playing golf. She is French and couldn't speak English and I couldn't speak French, so there was little chance of us getting involved in any boring conversations - that's why we got married really quickly.

I'm an easy target because of my political opinions.

Personally I give us . . . one chance of three.

I'm swimming every day and I'm even trying to get the golf swing working again - but that might take a little bit longer.

I still pay full tax when I work in England and the same when I work in America.
