A freelance journalist, Clive penned a popular series in Golf Monthly quite a while ago called ‘Single Figures or Bust’ in which he succeeded in lowering his handicap from 18 to 9 in 12 months.

"Getting it back to 18 took longer but was much easier and considerably less stressful”, he recalled.

That series was going to be part of a trilogy, ‘Single Figures or Bust’, ‘Nine to Five’ and ‘Scratch, My Arse!’ but Clive has still not fully recovered from the enormous effort he put into the first part. His writing is whimsical and witty.

“I love golf because it offers so much scope for humour”. Having had a hole-in-one, his only remaining ambition is to boost sales of his book, ‘Two Ruddy Ducks and a Partridge on a Par Three’.
