Keaton Charles, senior journalist at GolfTimes.co.uk, I bring a love of the game and a sharp editorial eye to everything I write. My background may sit outside traditional golf media, but my passion for the sport runs deep and it shows in every feature, review and opinion piece. I am here to tell the real stories of golf: the quiet triumphs, the gear obsessions and the moments that keep us all coming back.
Away from the desk, you will usually find me on the course. I play off a mid-20s handicap, steadily improving (or at least trying to). I swing a Ping driver, trust a set of Ben Hogan irons and play most of my rounds at Rodway, where I am a proud member. It is a course full of personality and challenge, just like the game itself. Golf has a funny way of humbling you, but I would not have it any other way.
