When I’m on my travels with my Golf Monthly colleague and good friend Rob Smith, conversation often turns to things or phrases that irritate or annoy us. It comes with the territory at our age, I’m afraid.
One that irritates him a little more than me is the use of “quite the” rather than “quite a” as in, “He’s become quite the player over the last couple of years.” Nick Dougherty, from the Sky Sports and PGA Tour commentary teams, is very much a fan of “quite the”.
