Burnley Express reporters given golfing lessons at Golf Rossendale Driving Range & Academy
So while Charl Schwartzel, and unfortunately not Rory McIllory, makes room in his wardrobe for a little green number, I clubbed up and headed to Golf Rossendale Driving Range & Academy, for a short lesson in the basics of golf.
The driving range and academy opened in October and features 24 bays, a putting room, soon to be finished short game area and two PGA Professional golfers offering private tuition.
But with my swing as rusty as my 15-year-old pitching wedge, it was fair to say that head pro Mike Bardi had his work cut out.
