There might not be many circles where Midland PGA pro Paul Streeter and FA Cup winning Portsmouth boss Harry Redknapp would mix - although they may, once, have been closer than one might think, but the two are in agreement with one fact: behind every good man, there is a good woman.
Redknapp said as much after his side lifted the coveted trophy on Saturday and Streeter would have to concur. Or he'll get it in the neck this Thursday. His better half, Tracey, is caddying for him at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth. The West Course is no place to upset the missus!
"She's done it before," said Streeter, before his final warm-up event - the Nuneaton Pro-Am yesterday where he finished joint seventh with a one-under-par 70.
It's a double-edged sword. The calming influence of keeping it in the family coupled with the fear of crossing she who must be obeyed.
"She knows when to keep quiet and when to tell me I'm playing like a prat!"
Streeter lines up this week by virtue of winning last year's PGA Play-Offs (winning further spots in the Celtic Manor Wales Open, European Open and Barclays Scottish Open plus entry to four Challenge Tour events). Victory in the end of season showdown at Notts Golf Club meant he also finished third in the Midland Order of Merit.
It could all have been so different had Streeter followed his initial sporting passion. He once signed semi-professional forms for Lincoln City FC but decided to concentrate on golf instead.
Having been persuaded by father, Brian, to take up golf at the age of 16, his initial progress was rapid getting down from 24 to a five handicap in his first full year. But he turned professional relatively late in life at age 31 in 1997 with a handicap of plus three.
Golf rules his life now and the Southwell pro is relishing the task at hand this week.
"I am looking forward to playing at Wentworth competitively. I played there a good while ago with some mates when the course was not in great condition. We teed off at about 4.30 so played the last two holes in the dark.
"I will just have to play my normal game. The greens will be a lot quicker than those I have been putting on recently and that will be the biggest thing to get used to.
"The rough will be quite penal too which suits me because driving is the stronger part of my game."
Prior to the Play-Offs victory last season Streeter tinkered with his grip which paid dividends and is still doing so. He has enjoyed top ten finishes in all of his events so far this season.
"I've just gone back to a normal grip. I had another lesson with (coach) Graham Bradley yesterday and was hitting it well."
