BIKING MAD!

Despite having played golf for nearly 50 years, I saw something last month which I have never seen before. I was just about to tee off when my attention was drawn to a fellow golfer on the adjacent fairway. I could only see the top half of this chap due

to the undulations, but he seemed to be floating down the fairway! My curiosity got the better of me and as I walked over to see what was happening, there he was peddling up and down the fairway on a bike with his golf clubs on his back. I challenged his behaviour and was told that it was, in fact, a foldable “golf cycle”. The guy was adamant it had been proven that bikes cause less damage to a course than buggies.
