Anne Marie triumphs at Newlands
Fourteen years ago, Annika Sorenstam, the top Lady golfer at that time, took part in a PGA Tour event at Colonial but unfortunately she failed to make the cut. No such problems for Anne Marie Kearney at the PRTV outing at Newlands on Monday 24th April, when she cruised to victory while leaving most of the men in her slipstream. Pat Courtney's return of 39pts would be enough to win many other outings, but he found himself relegated to the runner-up spot on a countback.
Despite meteorological forebodings, the day turned out fine for golf - somewhat cloudy and at times punctuated by welcome spells of bright sunshine - with just a brief shower catching the final groups. It is always a pleasure to play Newlands and this was no exception. The course looked magnificent and was in great order, with the greens as treacherous as ever. Many thanks to the bar and catering staff for the delicious food and drink after the golf, and I'm sure this venue is already pencilled in for 2018.
