What about your favourite wine? We understand you’re something of a connoisseur ...
Golf and wine are the two things I’m really passionate about. On a hot summer day I probably enjoy wine even more than golf. It’s hard to pick a favourite but I’ll admit to having a bias towards Burgundy. Wine can be a good investment, but I love my collection so much that I don’t think I’d ever be willing to sell any of it.
Who would be in your dream fourball?
It’d be great to play with Adam Scott, Na Yeon Choi and Suzann Pettersen. I love Scott’s swing, while Choi and Pettersen are my favourite players on the LPGA Tour.
How do you maintain focus during a round?
It is very important to stay in the present and don’t overthink the shot; you have to stick with your routine and trust all the hard work you put in will deliver results. Between shots I often play tunes in my head and think of things that have nothing to do with golf.
How would you describe your overall investment philosophy?
For me, investing is a hobby, not a career. I don’t spend my days checking prices. I’ll make a move when there is a great opportunity, but I generally don’t worry too much about my investments.
What key lessons have you learned through your personal investing experiences?
You can’t win them all! Don’t fantasise about buying at the lowest price and selling at the highest – just stick with your goals and targets. It’s very much like golf: you can’t control the scoreboard. Just play your own game and whatever happens, happens.
