Final event of Orange Blossom

Tour gets underway

The final event of the 2009 Orange Blossom Tour for amateur women/girls in Florida teed off today.
It's the 63rd women's international four-ball championship at Orangebook Golf & Country Club at Hollywood (not in California!), down the Atlantic coastline from Fort Lauderdale.
All the Scottish/English/Irish students and other English players such as Holly Clyburn and Rachel Connor have come back to this side of the Atlantic so there's a very small field.
But if it's short of quantity it is not short on quality.
US Curtis Cup player Meghan Bolger, twice US women's mid-amateur champion, who lost to Kelsey MacDonald in the semi-final of the "Jones-Doherty" last week, is in the field. She plays off +1 and her partner, Dawn Woodward, plays off an amazing +4. Why was she not in the US Curtis Cup team at St Andrews last May?
Apart from them there are three or four scratch players.
