Whatever it is that she does, I hope that she does a better job at it than she does golf presenting!!
Ah but remember the choice...Hazel or luggsy malone!

Now here's a daft idea.....why dont the BBC get an ex golfer to present the golf, like Rob Lee on Sky. Whoever they get it couldnt be much worse than the alternatives! 
What about the Monty and Woosey Show?
The new Ant and Dec of Golf Telly?

Not before time he must be 102 -KG that is.
Sam Torrance is really good - I'm serious!

I thought Ken Brown would be the obvious successor. Hazel Irvine does a lot of stuff on the BBC as has been mentioned already. The problem any presenter has with the golf is the US feed going to an ad break every couple of minutes and so having to fill time not always with pictures to help. At least she is a lot more lucid and better looking than Lineker

At least she is respected by the players as a genuine journalist and not some smug sphincter who is only there because the beeb are paying him bundles.

She really seems to be a genuine decent scottish girl (lady), proper athletic type with an interest in all sports.
I get the feeling she tried too hard the odd time ("Hello Mr Nicklaus" etc) but certainly easier to watch when you arnt cringing like mr line acre. He is good at footy, understands his own questions, last years Masters was woeful. It was like watching bambi all over again.

She must have played to a reasonable standard to get "representative honours" with her golf at St Andrews Uni.

I actually quite like her, plus shes attractive.
Much better than big ears.
And welsh accent?! i must admit that made me laugh, seeing as im welsh and have never heard a welsh accent like that before
