My sporting weekend

There are many fine European golfers in the up and coming generation and two did well over the weekend. Renato Paratore aged 20 won the Nordea Masters whilst Matt Fitzpatrick who won the tourney last year finished a respectable second. Alexandre Levy of France recently won a tournament too. It was [...]

Tuning in on a Saturday morning

There was a point last year at which my husband and I had a semi-serious discussion about joining a tour taking British and Irish Lions fans to New Zealand. This arose from a small dinner party chez nous post-food relaxed discussion about our contemplated ‘retirement’ years and a challenge [...]

The Cup Final

I have written before as have many sportswriters on the sad decline of the FA Cup. Continental footballers grace our game but they do not “get” the cachet of the FA Cup as their major Cup competition domestically does not have similar prestige; there is now so much live football; the [...]

Wind-blown challenge off course?

Last night, after what at the time felt a street-wise decision to beat the Bank Holiday get-away by departing at 2.15pm – events proved this a foolhardy option as said exodus had clearly begun about five hours previously – we eventually arrived at the coast to spend the weekend with my [...]

Back to the tee

As the PGA tournament began at Wentworth yesterday two other golfers continued their attempts to return to the fray. Whilst Tiger Woods wisely announced his intention to take his time following his latest back surgery, in scorchingly hot conditions I took another step on the road back to the top [...]
