Robert Rock: The Sultan of Swing on style, substance and beating Tiger
Q: What was it like to face Tiger Woods on the course, and what did you take away from that experience?
Facing Tiger was both daunting and inspiring; the interactions, the level of play, and the pressure pushed me to perform at my best and reaffirmed the importance of preparation and mental clarity.
Robert Rock: The Sultan of Swing on style, substance and beating Tiger
Q: Do you think the game can be mastered or is that the enduring magic of golf that it can't?

James Nesbitt: Rory, Sir Alex and the healing power of golf
Q: What drew you to golf and kept you connected to Portrush?
A sense of home and friendship. Golf trips with lifelong friends created a glue that strengthened bonds and offered a meaningful way to connect with family roots, the landscape, and the community.

Q: So welcome to This Golfing Life, Mr. Dougray Scott. What have you been up to since I've last seen you?
