Hugh Grant has possibly read more putts than books

Hugh Grant reportedly says he is single because he is suffering an addiction – to golf.

“I’m obsessed and it’s destroying my life. Golf is an addiction,” he was quoted as saying by Bang Showbiz.

“I’ll get out of bed in the middle of the night and practice my swing in front of the mirror.”

Grant explained it was difficult to find a love partner. “When you say to a girl ‘I play golf’ her eyes glaze over”. I do feel guilty about my golf. You know you’re a sad case when you spend your spare time reading books on putting or going on YouTube to watch slow motion golf swings.”

This may sound strange, but I would argue that golf addiction is a real “affliction”. I know a guy who nearly lost his job because he would sneak off during the day to play golf (he told me this during a round of golf, by the way).

    At the height of his sporting prowess, David Isaacson could be seen every Saturday afternoon climbing the stairs to the upper gallery of Newlands. An all-round sportsman in his younger days - he was equally awful at cricket, soccer, athletics, swimming, table tennis, tennis, judo, cycling, hockey, basketball, volleyball and touch rugby - David quickly learnt that it was much easier (and far less painful) to be an armchair critic. As a journalist he has covered three Olympic Games, infuriated several sports administrators, reported on numerous other events and irritated Butana Komphela.
