More than a game: Office politics

Despite the biting Scottish winter, Golf Monthly's contributing editor Fergus Bisset is on a mission to play through the wind, rain and snow and report back to us in his 'More than a game blog'. This week he's addressing the old dilemma: Should you try to beat your boss?

For me golf has to be competitive. A bounce game with nothing at stake just doesn?t compare to a medal round or a big money match. It?s one of the reasons I love playing in the Alliance through the winter ? there?s always something to play for.

Unfortunately I was in London again for this week?s Alliance, but don?t fear, I got my fix of competitive golf. Click on the link below:

Contributing Editor

Fergus is Golf Monthly's resident expert on the history of the game and has written extensively on that subject. He has also worked with Golf Monthly to produce a podcast series. Called 18 Majors: The Golf History Show it offers new and in-depth perspectives on some of the most important moments in golf's long history. You can find all the details about it here.

He is a golf obsessive and 1-handicapper. Growing up in the North East of Scotland, golf runs through his veins and his passion for the sport was bolstered during his time at St Andrews university studying history. He went on to earn a post graduate diploma from the London School of Journalism. Fergus has worked for Golf Monthly since 2004 and has written two books on the game; "Great Golf Debates" together with Jezz Ellwood of Golf Monthly and the history section of "The Ultimate Golf Book" together with Neil Tappin , also of Golf Monthly.

Fergus once shanked a ball from just over Granny Clark's Wynd on the 18th of the Old Course that struck the St Andrews Golf Club and rebounded into the Valley of Sin, from where he saved par. Who says there's no golfing god?
