Anders Hansen has had a long and illustrious career on the European Tour but he rates teeing it up alongside his son Marcus at this week's Made in Denmark as the highlight.
The Dane retired after last season's Portugal Masters but has made appearances on Tour in 2016, making the cut at the BMW International Open, 100th Open de France and D+D REAL Czech Masters.
His appearance in Prague last week was the 423rd of his career, while Marcus will be making his European Tour debut at Himmerland Golf & Spa Resort.
The pair will be following in the footsteps of some illustrious fathers and sons to have played in the same European Tour event, including Bernhard and Stefan Langer, Bill and Jay Haas, and Craig and Kevin Stadler.
Marcus won the Danish Amateur Championship last week, prompting his tournament invite, and Anders admits it has been a whirlwind since.
"Three months ago I said that this would be a dream and that I would continue to play until it was possible and now it's actually happening!" he said. "This is the highlight of my career.
"Everything went so quickly after he won last week so it hasn't even quite sunk in yet! When the organisers called on Monday and said he was in, we immediately started getting him sorted for playing and doing all the things that I have people to do for me so it was kind of weird.
"But now we are here it's a cool experience, it's great. We played nine holes together on Tuesday and it's nice to have him here. It's something I never thought would ever happen, but it did!
"To get to play your first European Tour event, in Denmark, that's pretty cool. If he can come away from here having learned a few things about where he can improve and how he can make it at this level then the whole thing will have been a success."
Marcus is also hopeful he can learn from the experience of his first European Tour event, and is excited to be playing alongside some of the biggest names in golf.
"I was speechless when I found out I was going to get to play this week, it's an amazing feeling to be in the field," he said. "It's really big to be here. Normally, I'm used to playing small tournaments and going out and just playing 18 holes - this is different.
"I think I'm going to be nervous walking alongside Major winners but it's good for me - and for it to be the Made in Denmark makes it even more exciting. I have quite a lot of school friends coming to watch.
"Growing up watching my dad winning tournaments was different because back then I wasn't even playing much golf but of course I was happy. It's funny now to be in the same event as him. If I had one word for that father-son experience this week? Exceptional.
"I hope I can just look back at this tournament over the winter and be proud and think of it as extra motivation to play more in the future."

Steen Tinning's son Nicolai is also playing this first event this week in Farsø, as the next generation of Danish golfers begins to make its way onto the Tour.
"I'm very excited about playing here," he said. "I caddied last year so I have seen and felt the atmosphere of the tournament and it's very special compared to some of the other European Tour events I have been to, maybe because I am Danish, but I'm just really looking forward to it."
"It's a proud moment for him," added Tinning senior - a two-time European Tour winner. "He can't wait, it's such a great moment. He's so fired up.
"It's a proud moment for the family. Nicolai is in just his second year as a pro and to get his first European Tour start is great. He wasn't handed it. He made it in qualifying and that was the decisive moment in his own belief that he is good enough."
