Ican’t quite believe it was 15 years ago that I flew halfway across the top of the world to watch Hideki Matsuyama win the second instalment of the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship (AAC). A great deal has happened in that time.

My dog died for a start. Don’t worry too much though, I have a new one. Anchoring of the putter was banned. That didn’t affect me really as I didn’t do it. We painted our house a sort of greenish/blue colour. Some people don’t like it, but I do. And lots of other stuff happened that has been well documented.

I am very lucky to have been invited to cover the AAC five times over the last 15 years and I have some incredible memories from those championships. You may like
