QUOTE OF THE WEEK

‘THE LPGA do a great job of giving back, so to know that will happen after my hole in one is a big bonus. And for me it beats getting a car, so I’m happy about that.’ England’s Meghan MacLaren, after learning her ace at the women’s Australian Open led to a £16,000 donation to a children’s hospital. How much nicer would it be if holes in one were recognised in this way, rather than a golfer getting a car he — and it’s nearly always a man — will probably never drive and which will make no difference to his life.
