I never had the Daily Mirror down as being big on golf but there's a nice article on Robin in today's issue

Andrew where on earth did you find a copy of the Daily Mirror? It's even lighter than Scott Warren's old rag  ;)

Great to hear Robin is staying busy. Well-deserved. I hadn't heard the Jack Nicklaus story before, very cool.

He'll have his work cut out for him in making a course on 28 acres at Tres Cantos. :D

I can assure you I'm not a Mirror reader!

Thanks for posting the story.  I had the pleasure of two rounds with Robin this last week and after talking with look really would like to see his work in person.

And for a minute there Andrew I thought you were pointing us all in the direction of the latest golf scandal...  ;D

Nice one Robin!

Cheers,

that must be the longest story ever published in the Mirror! Robin is a scholar and a gent.

Thanks Chaps.

I'd kind of forgotten about doing this interview, as it was more than a month ago and arranged on the hoof.  Didn't get any warning, so it was a bit of a surprise this morning.  Yes Donal, I spotted the acreage error, but given the restrictions imposed on me it might turn out to be prophetic!

Actually, I wrote back to Jack earlier this summer, just to thank him for his advice all those years ago and to give him an update.  Guess what?  He's written back again to thank me for the note.  What a gent!  I can't tell you just how inspirational his advice was all those years ago...it made all the difference.

Knowing Robin's love of the Mail Online for its encyclopaedic coverage of Kelly Brook's every move, I realised I'd chosen the wrong starlet the moment I hit "post".

Melvyn, I now know I am sick. I played a course last week with a greenside bunker so shallow and hard that I putted out of it and the moment I pulled the flatstick out to exit the bunker I thought of you and chuckled. You are with me always! ;D

Hi Robin,

Saw a piece in The Telegraph too, quite the media hound now!

Hope you're well.

I saw him in a short interview on CNN Europe this morning.  There was a story about the various country bids for the Ryder Cup.

Seriously, it's got very little to do with me!  However, thanks for bringing the photo to my attention.  Can't remember where it went though. Photographer Matthew Harris got lucky with that snap!
