Reader question opportunity - popular Englishman David Howell...

[JezzE]

Evening all,

Looks like we're going to have the opportunity to put some more of your questions to four-time tour winner and two-time Ryder Cupper David Howell in a few days' time.

So fire away whether about his golfing career or anything else you fancy.

Please remember to include you real name and home town with your question as we'll need that for the resulting magazine feature

Thanks for your help...

Obviously your greatest ever career shot was the 200 yard gong challenge at Killarney; was it as much fun as it looked, and how many attempts before you actually hit the gong?

What age did you take up the sport.
Did you excel in any other sport.
What was the best single bit of advice you were given,and by whom.

It's fair to say you have had a degree of frustration with injury and loss of form. How did you remain positive and focussed and did you consider quitting at any point, and how does it feel to be fitter and playing so well again

You've shown a welcome return to form, is this down to the FatherFactor or is there something else..?

Does it frustrate you that you have been been highly commended for your commentary work on sky, which is thoroughly deserved in my opinion, rather than your playing ability/ results ?

Will you be commentating any more on Sky golf, is this something you may well turn too when you decide to cut down on your tour commitments ? ps I enjoy listening to your comments very honest and constructive

What do you see as the biggest challenge currently facing golf? And if it were up to you, how would you address it?

When doing the 'Shot Centre' feature on Sky with Dennis, do you consider a tin hat and body armour to be the most prudent choice of attire?

With the ladies just having retained the Solheim and a 1st win on American soil there is an excellent chance now to highlight the strength & appeal of Ladies golf & try promote it all the way to grass roots level,

Did the victory get much discussion in the men's pro ranks among the players or do they even bother about it ? can the men pros & mens tour help in promoting the ladies tour and should they or is it down to the ladies & ladies tour to promote themselves ?

Does anyone else think that hey could answer all these questions and save Howell the bother?

 

[JustOne]

David,

Have you ever considered getting a proper tee fitting?

What do you think about golfers who use the car park to change their shoes?

What do you make of Homer's blog?

David, do you remember winning the Salisbury Scratch Open at Salisbury and South Wilts many moons ago!? but mainly, What do you think set you apart from your peers at that time or helped you make it to all the great places you have been throughout your career over others?

 

[Captainron]

David,

You smile a lot on the course and seem to enjoy yourself, even when the round is not going to plan. What mental techniques do you use to 'reset' after a poor shot?

Interesting fact on Howler is that he has represented golf at every level possible.

Surprising rare combination.

David,

What's the worst experience you've ever had on a golf course? Is the 4 1/2 hours you spent with my brother (Glen Little) in the PGA Pro-Am at Wentworth earlier in the year near the top?!
