Out of the house for multiple hours and a (questionably) acceptable reason to have a drink at any time of the day aren’t the only reasons to play golf, but they definitely help.
Every weekend I head off full of hope that this will be the round where I break 80 as part of my journey to try and reach a single figure handicap. Every weekend, I sit with the aforementioned drink and assess where it all went wrong.

This archipelago, nestled in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of West Africa, is a paradise of vibrant culture, stunning landscapes, and idyllic beaches.
