Not Golf related but, as she was German that's close enough for me . :tongue:

One of my favourite episodes of Top Gear was when she embarrassed Clarkson in that diesel Jag S Type. Seemed like a great character, very sad news at any time but especially at such a relatively young age.  :sad:

Very Sad  :sad: she was amazingly talented

She always appeared to enjoy life and have fun, good message for all to do the same as we only have one opportunity to enjoy it.

Just read this, how very sad  :cry:

Stolen away so young.

punched a hole in my day,  :sad: what you saw on screen was no act that was Sabine, that smile, energy was infectious, you were always felt better for seeing her do what she did better than many - World is a lesser place for her passing,

Huge loss and very sad to hear this, this morning.

Met her at the Ring and a lap in the Taxi. Such a wonderful person.

RIP.
