One such person is Woosnam. The Welsh golfer won the Masters in 1987 and played in eight Ryder Cups.

Woosnam, who has called Jersey his home for decades, also captained Europe to victory in the 2006 Ryder Cup at the K Club, in what was at the time a record 18.5 to 9.5 margin.

“It would have been very difficult for Adam to play with wooden clubs,” says Woosnam.

“But the way these clubs can be made now lighter and it gives Adam the chance to play a round the golf with his disability, it’s incredible what he can do.”

And what advice would Woosnam, who won four Ryder Cups outright as a player, and helped Europe tie with the United States in a fifth in 1989, give to Dalton ahead of the Cairns Cup?

“All I can say is just to enjoy the moment because it’s something to remember,” Woosnam added.

“When we had younger players coming into the team it was to understand that it is a team event, and a lot of times you’ve got a partner and be patient and don’t be afraid to ask for advice.

“If you lose your match, it doesn’t matter if someone else can win, you only need to win by one point and that’s what it’s all about.”
