Some surprising revelations, not least of which the amount of pros who've had a little bit too much to drink the night before, or how many Donald Trump supporters there are on tour, or how common a little bit of rule breaking seems to be.
One of the more humorous results was that while no player thought they were too slow out on the course, around 75% of them said they'd had a playing partner who was!
