“My perfect day would involve a round of golf, either in Troon or in any of the world class courses across Scotland. I very much enjoy spending time with my young family – ensuring that my son and daughter fully appreciate the attributes of sporting activity. Although this can involve manic schedules, the pay back is in seeing their obvious thrill in taking part.”
