A round and about

George Hook Broadcaster and rugby pundit

Earliest golfing memory?

Walking past Bruen Insurances in Cork aged eight, and my father regaling me with the exploits of Jimmy Bruen.

First golfing victory?

The Wednesday fourball in Milltown with the late Kevin O'Flanagan. He finished four, four to set up the win.

First time to break 90?

Hopefully, I will do it and shoot my age at the same time!

Last bit of golf equipment?

A complete set of custom-made Callaways - rumours of a lottery win are unfounded.

Last time you took a golf cart and why?

With my knees, this is a silly question.

Last time you muttered an obscenity on a golf course and why?

Frank Sinatra sang that love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage. He could also have suggested four-letter words and golf.

Which of the majors would you like to attend and why?

Go back to my first and only major - the British Open Championship at Royal Lytham.

Ideal golfing fourball: Who and where?

Gráinne Seoige, Dolly Parton and JLo - who cares about the golf!

One last round on earth: where would it be?

Portmarnock.

Ralph Lauren or Lyle & Scott?

With my waist - it has to be the Great Outdoors.

Is the Titleist ProV1 worth the extra expense?

I prefer the official to the provisional Titleist.

Best golf club food. Where?

Muirfield.

140 yards out from green. Flat Calm. What's in your hand?

The sixth commandment forbids an honest answer but if a club, it would be a nine.

Favourite club in times of trouble (eg nine-iron)?

The putter - Billy Casper and I would not three-putt in a supermarket car park.

Parkland or links?

What would you expect a member of Milltown to say?

Must see golfing holiday destination?

The Hyatt Regency Hotel in Coolum, Queensland, Australia.

Hidden gem (a golf course)?

Queenstown, New Zealand.

One mulligan in life?

All square playing the last against Tom McGurk.
