Dan, who plays at Hallamshire Golf Club in Sheffield where he hosts an annual charity golf day, features in Pro-am events around the country and is about to choose his latest golfing wardrobe from leading apparel brand Galvin Green.

“I am delighted to be writing a regular golf column for Golf Monthly,” said Dan.

“My work on the TV has given me the opportunity to play some of the best courses on the planet and I've been fortunate enough to meet some of world's finest golfers and find out what makes them tick.

“He obviously enjoys the game and has plenty to say about its impact on him and fellow commentators and pundits, many of whom spend a lot of time on the golf course.
