Only time will tell if Cowen can deliver on his church-gate speech

MUCH as I don’t want to admit it, I don’t always play golf brilliantly.

I start every round in high expectation — today is going to be the day, today will be the moment when it all finally comes together.

But there are days when hope has gone by the third green, days when just nothing seems to work. On those days my dreams of finally qualifying for the senior tour — of being the Harrington of the over-60s — fade once more into the middle distance.
