It was the return tie on Tuesday in this year's Pearson Trophy against Sidcup played over the West course. Having lost away in a close match last week, the team of Christine Edgar, Jo Eldridge, Chris Ross, Shirley Beglinger, Elaine Lopategui, Barbara Scott and Angela Mace had an excellent win 5-2. Well done ladies, onwards and upwards.

The European Tour remains in South Africa this week for the Africa Open at the East London Golf Club. Thomas Aiken won in 2014 and a good field has assembled in 2015.

With a number of the European Tour's best over in the US for the WGC - Cadillac Championship, this event provides a chance for some of the circuit's up-and-coming talents to show their worth.

This will be only the sixth time the Africa Open has appeared on the European Tour schedule. The tournament began life as a Sunshine Tour event in 2008 and was initially hosted by the Fish River Sun Country Club near Port Alfred. Shaun Norris took the inaugural title. In 2009 the competition moved to East London GC and carried a dramatically increased prize fund. As a result it attracted a far stronger field that led to the Africa Open being co-sanctioned by the European Tour in 2010.

Home players have dominated since this event became a fixture on the European Tour: Charl Schwartzel was champion in 2010 then Louis Oosthuizen took back-to-back victories in 2011and 2012. Darren Fichardt claimed the title in 2013, and last season it was Thomas Aiken who came out on top after a playoff against England's Oliver Fisher.

Designed by Colonel SV Hotchkin, the course at East London dates from 1893. It's a historic and traditional layout winding through sand hills and coastal bush land. The course blends both links and parkland playing characteristics. It's an excellent test of skill and one that generally discovers a quality winner.

The weather in general looks like being fair, although there's a threat of thunderstorms on Thursday that could interrupt play.

Player Watch:

David Howell - Tied second in the Joburg Open, Howell will look to build on that result this week. This is a course that should suit his game.

Oliver Fisher - Returns to the site of a playoff defeat last season. By reaching 20-under-par round this track, he's proved it's a course he can master.

Raphael Jacquelin - The Frenchman hasn't played on the European Tour since the Malaysian Open. He's been on solid form but hasn't taken a victory on the circuit for a couple of years. This technical layout could be the setting for a return to the winners' circle.

The best players in the world are in Florida this week for the first World Golf Championship event of 2015. Patrick Reed defends in the WGC - Cadillac Championship at Doral.

Since it was first hosted in 1999, Tiger Woods has won this event seven times, most recently in 2013 when he finished two clear of Steve Stricker. Tiger doesn't play this season as he's dropped to 75th on the Official World Golf Ranking and is taking a break from competitive action as he struggles with injury and short game woes.

In last year's tournament, Patrick Reed held on to win by a shot from Bubba Watson and Jamie Donaldson. All three of those players will fancy their chances again this week, but they'll face stern opposition. It's a limited field this week - just 74 players, and all 50 of the World's Top 50 will tee it up.

Originally designed by Dick Wilson, the TPC Blue Monster has played host to PGA Tour events for almost half a century. The Doral Open was contested over the layout between 1962 and 2006.

The track was revamped by Gil Hanse for last year's tournament and it proved to be a significant challenge. The average score for the week was 73.852 - not helped by an average of 76 on day two thanks to strong winds.

The weather forecast for this week looks more gentle. There might be some rain, but it should be generally warm with just light breezes.

Key hole:

18th - It's an extremely challenging par four. Water lurks all down the left side and the fairway is extremely narrow. It generally plays as the hardest hole on the course and always provides the possibility of last-minute drama.
