Beat The #JanuaryBlues And Look At Jamie Dornan Playing Golf

Did you check your bank balance today? Feel the chill air through opaque tights so thick you once thought them capable of fighting off a nuclear assault? Has a colleague shamed you for adding cane sugar to your Weetabix? Welcome to January, the bitter month of capitalist deprivation and regret you spent so much money on your aunt for Christmas when all she gifted you was slipper socks.

Because everyone is in a mood these days, we have taken it upon ourselves to cheer you up. With photos of Jamie Dornan playing golf in recent years. Sure, it’s probably off-season for the sport, but happiness knows no strict time limits. It ignores the rules of the game. True joy is your saved Downloads folders.

Here’s Jamie playing off the third tee during the final practice round of the 2015 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at The Old Course last September in St Andrews, Scotland. Look at how tough-looking he is with those rolled up fleece sleeves.

Buttoned up but still up for the laugh Jamie during the third round of the 2015 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship at Kingsbarns, Scotland last October.

He’s concentrating on you.

Jamie’s laughing at something golf buddy Brian O’Driscoll said, but really he’s thinking of something cute you did.

The fleece is back, but the flushed face is new.

Jamie, in 2014, tipping his cap to you. That can be an innuendo.

He appreciates a nitty gritty challenge, which is something all hypothetical relationships can be.
