This is the sort of thing which comes into your noddle while you're supposed to be doing proper writing.

Dear Santa

I have been a very good boy this year. I accounted for all my air shots on my scorecard. I replaced all my divots. I gave Harry that two foot putt on the 17th even though he didn’t give me the 18 incher on the 13th. And I didn’t even swear when that bloody incontinent seagull dropped a present on my ball.

Therefore I present the following for your favourable consideration:
1. I would like a set of clubs like Jordan Speith’s. I would also like to hit the ball like Jordan Speith. I do not require Jordan Speith’s hair as mine is thinning of its own accord. NB. Tell your elves that I don’t want a club like the one that kept putting the ball in the water at the par 3 at Augusta. I have plenty of those already.
2. I would like my own caddy. While I have no strong views regarding the gender of said caddy they must: have the strength of Samson when he still had his Barnet; be as wise as Fanny Sunesson when she guided Sir Nick to his major wins; be able to provide a non-stop supply of food and drink to the standard of Mary Berry. It would be useful if the caddy would work for just a pint of Old Thumper and a small packet of cheese and onion crisps.
3. I would like to have a hole in one at the 14th. I would also like all club members to be out on the course to witness this achievement. However, I would prefer if those members stayed out on the course so there are only three people in the bar when I come to buy my round.

And finally...if it isn’t too much trouble, could you arrange that any time an American golf fan shouts “Mashed potato!” they get teleported to a small island off Norway where they can shout “You’re the man” and other daft stuff to their hearts’ content and not pollute my ears with it.

Many thanks
