First on this occasion, I congratulate the happy couple.
PAARL, South Africa (Reuters) - Former tennis champion Chris Evert and ex-golf number one Greg Norman announced their engagement on Friday, during the South African Open golf tournament in the South-Western Cape.
Evert and Norman have both divorced their spouses in the last year -- Australian Norman agreeing a reported $100-million settlement with Laura in September and Evert splitting from Andy Mill, her second husband, last December.
Evert, the winner of 18 grand slam singles titles, confirmed the engagement at a news conference to announce she would be building a tennis centre at the Pearl Valley Golf Estates, where the South African Open golf is being held.
Now for some advice to Chris.
What ever you do, don't schedule the wedding on Sunday. Even in Greg's youth he had special "performance" problems on Sunday. I doubt that has gotten better over the years.
The "Great White Shark's" final round chokes (particularly in Majors) are the stuff of golf legend. My favorite was the 1996 Masters when he went into Sunday with a 6 stroke lead and then lost by 5 strokes.
