ADDICTION

This is the 10th anniversary of the Dunhill Links Championship, played on three of the world's most revered courses; St Andrews, Kingsbarns and Carnoustie.
For millionaire chief executives of blue chip companies, Hollywood icons, rock stars and more than a few sporting legends – it is a chance to play, and drink, with the European tour's finest professionals and recent Ryder Cup heroes.

As one regular, Hugh Grant, puts it, "the experience is a cocktail of one third terror, one third excitement and one third lager".

"There are so many actors and rock musicians that have indulged in every kind of narcotic and alcohol," he said. "And when they get sober, they seem to end up on a golf course. Willie Nelson took me out for a game and once I'd hit one good ball, I was addicted. And it's a great addiction to have."
