    Some of you might have seen this already but Harrington did a webchat thing on the BBC a few weeks ago. Just had a look at it and there's some really good stuff in there about his thoughts on the game. Worth a look..

    It's an old cliche but this, for me anyway, is the crucial part of that interview:
    if you want to be a clever golfer and get the most out of your game you should spend 20 minutes a day practising putting and chipping, especially anything from inside 60 yards. You'll improve immensely. You've got to give yourself a chance of getting down in two and never taking more than three.

    If I could walk with an 18-handicapper and I hit all his shots inside 100 yards he'd be playing off below five. The long game is where the aesthetics and beauty are but the short game is where the nitty gritty and scoring is.

    Interesting (but not surprising really) that he idolised Langer when he was younger.

    Great find - thanks.

    Couldn't agree with you more S2S, that's as good a piece of golf advice as you could possibly get...

    Without wishing to get off topic, Scratch, just wondering what you play off these days, did you find it difficult to maintain your game after you had achieved your initial challenge?
