"Daddy got a last minute flight to Scotland"
Our heart goes out to Tom today with the announcement that his daughter has, we think quite selfishly, set a wedding date slap, bang in the middle of British Open week.
What is a man to do??
"I will be thinking a little bit about it but I won't tell her that, though," he told the PGA Tour website.
Well we like to imagine Tom walking his daughter Meg down the aisle wearing the green t-shirt and checked troos that he carried off so superbly back in 77 at Turnberry as a tribute to the Claret Jug.
Or perhaps we should look forward to seeing Tom in the wedding photos fidgeting with his matchbox size radio trying to get coverage of the days play.
The 5 time Open winner will be saddly missed though and I'm sure whilst he will have a magical day, part of him will be wishing he was standing on that 1st tee.
Every golfer knows the feeling of being dragged around Ikea or the like, knowing that their playing partners are in the process of "limbering up" on the 1st tee.
Torture.
Or having to attend to "family commitments" that co-incide with Thursday at the Masters.
Tom, our thoughts are with you.

If I have tix to the Masters, I'm gone! No family function could drag me away.
Yes, the Benny Hill analogy was a compliment....I'm back, right?
Keep up the good work, GBonn Jnr
