Inspiration for the New Year
JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT: As fireworks explode outside in celebration of the New Year, it’s good to pause for a moment and reflect upon the past golf season. For me it was once again a year of “Happy Kennemer Memories”. Another superb International Dutch Open Championship at the links course in Zandvoort filled with many magical moments as golf journalist working with Sport 1 KLM Open Radio. Four thrilling days making live radio with an enthusiastic and dedicated team following all of the action out on the course with “live” commentary and interviewing the players at the end of each round. The icing on the cake? Interviewing Tom Watson. But there were more inspiring interviews: enchanting, often unexpected, encounters, that will remain etched in my memory for many years to come …
