Say your car tells you that the distance between your home and the golf club is 6.3km, how do you know this is right? It might be 7, could be 8, but I suspect most of us think it is 5. In a survey of 10,000 randomly selected golfers I conducted this morning, in my head, 95 per cent told me that they lived ‘about 5km’ from their golf club. The club in France with which I have a slight membership have been emailing me every day. Hopefully, one day soon, now the over 70s are allowed out and as I live 5km from the golf club, I may find out.
