I’ve been playing golf for quite a while and I’ve recently convinced Sii to take it up – we’ve been to the driving range in Portsmouth a few times now. Last monday we went there after work and Chris decided to join us for his first golfing experience.
Needless to say, I was quite nervous when Chris picked up my shiny [and dented - thanks, Sii] newish driver and swung through about a foot above the ball! Some 50 balls later he seemed a bit more confident and was hitting the ball quite well!

Once it got a bit quieter, someone had the bright idea to tell Chris it might be a good idea to tee off with a run-up – well, you can imagine how that turned out! After a few swing and misses, he realised that “it’s just like hockey, innit!?” “No,” we said. Undeterred he grabbed the 3 wood and, well, words don’t do it justice – luckily, we filmed it!

As you can see, Sii took to it like a duck to water – shouldn’t be long before he’s out on the 18 – and I’m sure there’ll be a few things to blog about afterwards. Most likely the horrified look on Nick’s face as Sii’s tee shot sails over his own!
