You can play the game at a decent level but your knowledge is very simplistic. You're also the only European captain to lose the cup since 1999.

You've coached the best player ever to play the game, you know the mechanics of a golf swing better than anyone but you fall short at the golfing knowledge hurdle. Although, if you keep looking straight into that camera you might come across as wiser than you actually are.

Ken Brown
The BBC's most trusted on-course man. You're out at 6am before play starts with a big bag of golf balls just so that the viewers know what the undulations are like on the 14th green. Rock on Ken, rock on.

Peter Alliss
The messiah of golfing knowledge. You could probably tell everyone who finished 51st in the 1964 US Open. If nothing else is constant in golf, Peter Alliss is. You should be proud of yourself, well done.
