23-01-2006 13:12 | Ian Willoughby

Lady Luisa Abrahams, who died last week at the age of 95, was a truly remarkable woman. Born Luisa Kramerova in 1910 she grew up in the Prague district of Bubenec, where her father ran a hospital. A leading ladies golfer in pre-war Czechoslovakia, Lady Luisa stayed in the UK, where she had gone to play a tournament, when World War II broke out. She spent the rest of her life in Britain, but always maintained close contacts with her home country.
