ORANGE BLOSSOM TOUR
INTERNATIONAL FOUR-BALL TOURNAMENT
ENDS 2006 ORANGE BLOSSOM TOUR
The curtain rings down on Florida’s 2006 Orange Blossom Tour with the week-long International Four-Ball tournament at Orangebrook Country Club, Hollywood near Fort Lauderdale.
There will be two stroke-play qualifying rounds to produce the eight pairs who will contest the match-play stages from Wednesday to Friday.
Last year, Ireland’s Marian Riordan from Tipperary and Mary Ann Plunkett, an American she met for the first time earlier on the Orange Blossom Tour, won the title.
Marian did not make the trip to Florida this year.
Sarah Carty from The Island Golf Club, Dublin did go over but she does not have a partner so far, according to the starting sheet for Monday’s first qualifying round.
There should have been three all-Stirling University partnerships but Clare-Marie Carlton (Fereneze) went down with a virus and had to stay in Scotland.
She was down to play with Kylie Walker in the four-ball foursomes. No new partner has been named yet for Kylie. Perhaps the organisers will pair up Sarah Carty with Kylie.
Emma Tipping (Sandiway) will team up with Alex Marshall (Burghley Park) while Olivia Briggs (Delamere Forest), who went so close to winning the Jones Doherty Challenge Cup at Coral Ridge Country Club on Saturday, will have Dawn Dewar (Monifieth) as a partner.
Welsh senior women’s amateur champion Vicki Thomas (Carmarthen) has gone home but Carol Semple Thompson (Pennsylvania), the US Curtis Cup captain who beat Vicki 3 and 2 in Saturday’s senior championship final of the Jones Doherty Challenge Cup, is in the field,
Carol’s partner is another legendary name from women’s amateur golf, Marlene Streit, from Canada and in her 70s.
