John: You\u2019re playing very well.<\/p>\n
Tommy: I am actually, Yeah. And my names up on the leaderboard would you believe.<\/p>\n
John: Is that right? There’s no ball following you.<\/p>\n
Tommy: There’s no Ball. It’s a good job he\u2019s not here because if he were twanging them braces, he’d be putting me off all over the place. I wouldn’t be able to concentrate.<\/p>\n
John: Have you been practising hard for this event.<\/p>\n
Tommy: Well, I’ve got myself a little bit psyched up for it, yes. While I’ve been in Bournemouth, I’ve been down in Bournemouth with the pro down there, John Sharkey and we’ve been getting at it a bit, yeah.<\/p>\n
John: Rather than Saddleworth.<\/p>\n
Tommy: Rather than Saddleworth and well, I wanna get home now. I’ve been down in Bournemouth 17 weeks so I’m looking forward to getting home, you know.<\/p>\n
John: Now you\u2019re playing with Brian Barnes, who seems equally inspired today.<\/p>\n
Tommy: Yes, oh aye, he’s playing well. He’s playing well. Yeah. Terrific.<\/p>\n

John: What’s he like to play with? Because we all know he’s a bit of a character<\/p>\n
Tommy: Oh he\u2019s smashing, tells a joke and makes it easy for you, you know ,which is good for us because in a daft way we’re out of our environment in this, although there’s a crowd around it’s not the same as going on stage and entertaining because we’re out of our environment. But like Brian’s great, he’s sort of putting his hand on your shoulder to take it easy and it’s lovely to play with somebody like that. I find that most of the pros are good lads to play with.<\/p>\n
John: And you’ve got some material from him as well<\/p>\n
Tommy: And a bit of material all about the fishing jokes and what have you. I\u2019ll get a bit more before I go and perhaps we’ve got a new act then.<\/p>\n
John: Alright, Tommy, well you\u2019d better go and play your second shot<\/p>\n
Tommy: Thanks very much. Cheers<\/p>\n
