If banter and bravado could win a golf tournament, it would be a tight competition amongfive former cricketers again swapping bats for clubs in the New Zealand Open starting tomorrow. While they have all played in the New Zealand Open Pro-Am before, the prior experience does not seem to have quelled their nerves. When Warne was asked how terrified he was he quipped: ''Of the golf, or other? ''It would just be nice once to play the golf that deserves to be played - hopefully, this will be the week.'' It's going to take something extra special for me not to come and play this tournament if I keep getting invited.''
