“At the moment I’m getting too much right hand over and collapsing slightly on my left side and it’s drawing the ball from right to left. But a hook is better than a slice every time isn’t it, particularly on a dogleg left, hahaha! Yes, it’s definitely a draw. Not a hook. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. OK?”.
Golf, golf, golf. And then, as an added bonus, some more golf. If the extremely attractive, willowy and effervescent SKY Sports News presenter Di Stewart was any more of a fanatic they’d be checking her house for WMDs. It’s not often you meet an elegant young television presenter and the first thought that comes into your mind is: I bet she could teach me a thing or two about my short game. a
The first time Di remembers picking up a club was aged six, while she was on holiday in North Wales. Her parents cut down a wooden 7-iron for her to hit while she followed them as they played Rhos-On-Sea near Llandudno.
“It was the best club in the world ever,” she recalls. “I didn’t hit another for six months. Apparently it’s a great way to groove a good, natural swing.”
From that point on, Di has been immersed in the game. Her mother’s side of the family are the dominant golfing force, which is a bit scary when you find out that Di’s father was keen enough to become President of his local club, Stockport. Walk into their house and you’ll see tidy rows of golfing apparel in the hallway and Di’s mum busily cleaning her grips and clubs getting everything 100% ready for the next morning’s match.
Not surprisingly, when they became capable of independent thought, the Stewart kids were scared off the game. Di was the one that didn’t get away.
