 One travel writer has suggested that nothing gets in the way of the golf holidays he enjoys with one of his friends.
The Bloke wrote in his Yorkshire Evening Post blog that they have been heading away to play the game annually for a number of years and suggested it is unlikely something will disrupt their routine now.
"We may be married - not to each other I hasten to add - but we still manage to make time for our annual golf trip," he remarked.
His friend, Martin, is soon going to be a dad and in order to avoid cancelling the traditional golfing holiday, they have arranged to meet up early this year and have it before the baby is born.
