Sandy Lyle

Sandy Lyle is a name that makes me want to walk a fairway. A Shrewsbury-born Scot who, alongside Nick Faldo and Ian Woosnam, anchored Britain's golden era of golf in the 1980s, he won two majors, was appointed OBE, and entered the World Golf Hall of Fame. Spending 167 weeks inside the world top ten speaks to a dominance that statistics alone barely capture. He also has an account on X. To me, Lyle embodies an old-school class that reminds me exactly why the game's history is worth cherishing.
