The start of the golfing season is here

As you know, each month we run a poll on our website to get your views on the latest golfing stories or upcoming events.

Last month we asked you to vote on who you think would win this week's Masters and it was the most answered poll we've ever run, so thank you.

There were only a few votes between the top two answers, with 'A.N. Other' just beating in-form Dustin Johnson to the top of the poll. It's not surprising that the world number one is right up there as one of your favourites with just under 25% of the votes considering he's won his last three events, with Rory McIlroy leading the British charge with over 20% of you voting for him.

The Masters signals the start of the golfing season for many golfers, meaning it's time to dust off those golf clubs and come down the club for a bit of practice or a few holes. How else will you play like the pros this season? Enjoy the weekend's viewing, and in the meantime why not have a look at April's poll on our website?
