It costs me less in every sense to incur the penalty of disobedience to the State than it would to obey. I should feel as if I were worth less in that case. (Civil Disobedience, 1849)

On the eve of the 49th AIG Women's Open this is a great golf story but an even more amazing life story. Jennifer Lucas, the winner of the first Women's British Open in 1976, and the tale of the twin sister she didn't know she had until she was in her mid 50's.

Hard to believe. The excitement when this course opened was off the charts in our circle. If you were a Sydney golfer at the time it felt like the Gold Coast arrived at Cattai.
Can you believe its almost 40 years since the first soil was turned in building the original Riverside Oaks course? It was in great shape for a photo shoot I completed for a feature in this month's edition of Golf Australia Magazine.
