Advantages: Immensely likeable golfer Disadvantages: Not showing his best from
A popular Scot (who was actually born in Shrewsbury) Sandy Lyle has won 2 majors. His first was the Open Championship in 1985 at Sandwich but perhaps his greatest triumph was the 1988 US Masters when he was the first Briton ever to win the Masters. Whether the Americans were so pleased is another matter for he chose haggis as the dinner for the following years Masters. In the same year (1988) he was also the World Match Play Champion.
Lyle was always destined to be a golfer. We have become familiar with the early footage of Tiger Woods hitting the ball as a toddler but it was the same for Sandy Lyle. He was a successful amateur before turning professional and was Rookie of The Year in 1978 and led the Order of Merit a year later.

Now that I have your attention. I don't mean the kind that you lot are thinking of but come to mention it though? Hmmmmmmmmm........ No. Stop it at once Shirley!
I mean Sandy Balls Holiday Centre on the edge of the picturesque New Forest in Hampshire. It's like a small one off Center parcs. You can choose to stay in a ready tent, mobile home type place or lord it up in a lodge or superior lodge. The things is once you are there you get peace and quiet and relaxation. And yes it is geared up for families!
