Or take something already successful and give it a twist towards greater success. Finding the motivation to build a life of freedom in his life. And now in classic Join Up Dots style, he has taken his passion for problem solving, his engineering skills and his love of golf, and certainly given the whole sport an almighty twist. He has created the world first authentically majestic indoor golfing experience blending virtual and real golf together.
