What Would Have Happened If...?
By: Derek Clements | Wed 28 Mar 2018
Fate is a funny thing. They say that all of us have our destiny mapped out for us and there is nothing we can do to change it. That may or may not be true. In any event, we can’t help but wonder how differently things could have turned out if circumstances had been slightly modified. So, the question is a simple enough one: What would have happened if…
What would have happened if…
Jon Rahm hadn’t learnt to speak perfect English? We wouldn’t understand him when he gets frustrated and loses his temper.
What would have happened if…
Hideki Matsuyama had learnt to speak perfect English? We would understand him when he gets frustrated and loses his temper.
What would have happened if….
Tommy Fleetwood had decided to become a hairdresser. The words “short back and sides” would be banished from the English language for ever.
What would have happened if…
Jason Dufner had decided to become a stand-up comedian. There wouldn’t be many laughs in this world. “Laughing? You laughing at me?"
What would have happened if…
The government had appointed Ian Poulter as a minister for fashion. Don’t, just don’t even think about it. We had a lucky, lucky escape.
What would have happened if…
Keegan Bradley had been offered the part of Rhett Butler in Gone With The Wind. Will he kiss Scarlett O'Hara? Won’t he kiss Scarlett O'Hara? It would take him so long to make up his mind that we would still be watching the premiere after a week, and it was already one of the longest films ever made.
What would have happened if…
Doug Sanders had holed THAT putt on the final green at St Andrews in 1970? For a start, Tiger Woods would only need another three majors to equal Jack Nicklaus.
What would have happened if…
Steve Elkington had decided that, instead of becoming a Tour player, he wanted to join the diplomatic corps. It is pretty safe to assume that the Australian embassy would not have been a place of choice for those seeking to avoid global conflict.
What would have happened if…
Pat Perez had decided that his future lay in anger management. After a session in his company, you would not want to upset any of his patients, that’s for sure. It’s tempting to believe that he would create an entire army of Terminators. “We’ll be back!!” Erm, thanks, but please don’t bother.
What would have happened if…
Colin Montgomerie had decided to become an English teacher. “It’s very difficult to move yourself up bit by bit. It’s like eating an elephant. I can do it, but you have to do it bite by bite. You can’t do it all in one go.” “I used to say I’m here to win. Now I say I’d like to win. But I have to start winning.” “I’m a great believer that if you don’t get the ball to the hole, it won’t go in." Within a couple of years we would all be speaking an entirely new language.
