With no play on the Monday morning of week two at the Dafabet World Championship a number of the BBC commentary team, aided and abetted by professional Matt Selt and assistant tournament director Martin Clark, took advantage of the fine weather and headed for the golf course.
The pairings for the latest leg of the matchplay challenge series were John Virgo and Clark v Willie Thorne and Dennis Taylor, and Selt and Stephen Hendry – fortified by the purchase of some new clubs in Sheffield - v John Parrott and Ken Doherty.
The auspicious occasion took place at Rotherham Golf Club, a fine parkland course of 6,327 yards with a par of 70. No one challenged the course record of 62 – but there were wins for the impressive Taylor and Thorne by 2 and 1, and Hendry and Selt by 4 and 3.
