At present 10 per cent of hunts chase only an artificial scent All we ask is that the other 90 per cent follow suit. The reason that hunting with dogs arouses such hostility is that it is patently unnecessary cruelty. I was brought up in hunting country and my grandparents first met on a hunt. Sir: Deborah Orr suggests that the campaign to abolish fox-hunting is not driven by animal welfare concerns. Furthermore, she appears perplexed by my assertion that participants defend hunting with such vigour for the simple reason that they enjoy it so I assure her this is the case. Where is the morality of NHS-based IVF centres charging NHS patients a fee for IVF when they are unable to obtain this service free of charge?Similarly, is it right that some private centres are now directly targeting the public to donate their eggs at the time of sterilisation, offering them in return a free sterilisation sooner than they would be able to obtain it on the NHS ("Sterilisation offered to egg donors", 2 July)?Your leader, "We don't want a free market in body parts" (2 July), correctly comments: "We do need fresh thinking to keep up with changing needs."Professor IAN CRAFTDirector, London Gynaecology & Fertility Centre LtdLondon W1. Those participating altruistically could decline any expenses, or claim just those involved with travel, child-minding etc. Surely it is not right that some fertility centres ask infertile women who cannot afford private treatment to give up some of their eggs ("egg sharing") to help more affluent women become pregnant, especially when only 25per cent of women having an IVF treatment cycle succeed in having a child.The responsibility lies with the NHS to provide more comprehensive and equitable fertility services.

So how do we recruit more egg donors? Setting up a national organisation with paid officers to help recruit and screen prospective egg and sperm donors, and those prepared to act as hosts for surrogacy, with the provision of an "inconvenience" or "participation" allowance, out of which all expenses must come, would solve the donor shortage problem It would be accountable, open and honest. Sir: Fertility specialists should provide equity of services for infertile couples with different fertility problems, including those requiring egg donation. It has taken five events for him to overtake all but six players when everyone else has been collecting points since last September.Westwood finished four behind Monty, alongside Jesper Parnevik, and his final round floundered on a hooked drive into a bush at the tenth.There was not a lot else wrong that a few more holed putts cannot put right and, after a disappointing couple of months, his third solid top 10 finish in a row came at the right time.. It was still a remarkable follow-up to his win in Ireland the previous week and took the Spaniard into the top 10 automatic qualifying spots on the Ryder Cup standings. The Australian closed with two eagles and three birdies over the last five holes, while Garcia got within one with three birdies in a row from the 12th.But three putts at the 16th and another bogey at the last dropped Garcia into a tie for second. I could stand there a long time before I hit an iron shot as good as that."This is a special victory for me," Monty added.

"I am from the west side of Scotland and to win here on a quality golf course against a quality field makes me very proud."Garcia might have repeated Peter O'Malley's stealing of the Scottish Open from Monty at Gleneagles in 1992. The longest birdie putt was from 20 feet at the seventh, otherwise the Scot was more accurate than other people's lag-putting."I'm glad that, even with all the emotion, I was able to hit the ball exactly the right distance," he said "At the 16th, I had 203 yards and hit a five-iron 203 yards. It started with a five-iron to within three feet at the short fifth, and ended in similar fashion at the 16th.Holing an eight-footer for par at the fourth was the key, Monty said, but from then on his approach play was superb. I have to be confident and sensible at the same time."It would be easy to get carried away by the sort of run which Monty at one point described as "reasonable" and at another, with the finger full on the irony button, as "rubbish". "My first tour victory was in Portugal in 1989 and I won by 11 shots, but the following week I opened with an 82 at Valderrama Hopefully, I am more mature ten years on I have to calm down and start again. More often than not he has not even been around on the weekend to pick up any sort of pay packet.Although it is unlikely the Angus coast will see four still days, the narrow fairways and the thick rough at Carnoustie will suit Montgomerie, who will practise here today and then take tomorrow off.
