I've covered sport for over 20 years and I'll be writing a regular column for HeraldScotland, available only online. Football and golf are my main loves but I hope to cover a wide range of other sporting points on the compass in the weeks and months ahead. I hope you enjoy my contributions - and please feel free to engage with me when you beg to differ.
