Herts girls travel well!!! |
|
Now that it’s
school summer holidays our girls
have been taking the opportunity to
play golf far and wide. |
|
Up in the North East of England, at
Ramside Golf Club, Nicola
Callander (Mill Green) came a
very commendable 7th
out of 21 entries in the EWGA
Abraham Trophy. In the EWGA English
Girls Under 13s Alice Hewson
(Berkhamsted) came 19th
whilst Emily Chan (South
Herts) came 12th
in a field of 80 in the Under 15s
competition. |
|
Over at Durham City Golf Club,
Lucy Goddard (Mid-Herts) reached
the Quarter Finals of Flight 2 of
the English Girls (under 18s). In a
tremendous battle she lost on the 21st
hole!! (Both Lucy Goddard and Alice
Hewson had not long returned from
California where they played in a
Calloway Junior competition). |
|
Ella Ofstedahl (Mill Green)
meanwhile was playing in the Wee
Wonders World Finals at Pinehurst,
North Carolina. In a truly
international field of 77 Ella came
a tremendous 18th.
|
|
Well done to all of
these girls and good luck to those
playing in the South East
Championship at Copthorne on
Thursday, 7 August. |
|
|
Emily Chan plays in National Schools
Final |
|
The English Schools’ National
Championship was held at
Kendleshire GC (Bristol) on 29 &
30 June. The weather was
excellent and the course was
very challenging.
|
|
It was a marvellous experience
for Emily who came T11 out of
27 of the country's top girl
golfers including Hannah Barwood. Emily's
achievement was all the greater
as she was one of the higher
handicappers in the competition.
|
|
It
continues what is proving to be a
very good year for the 14 year old
from South Herts Golf Club. |
|
|
Monthly competition at
Berkhamstead |
|
Sunday
May 18th |
|
Six girls competed at Berkhamstead
for the second monthly stableford
of the year on a beautiful but windy
day. |
|
The course was in excellent
condition,and proved to be very
challenging even although there are
no bunkers! |
|
The winner was
Alice Hewson who scored a
fantastic 44 points on her home
course, followed by Emily Chan with
33 points. |
|
|
Monthly Competition
at Knebworth |
|
Sunday 9th March |
|
Our
first monthly competition was held
at Knebworth GC and great to see a
keen group of girls competing on a
somewhat dull and damp day. For many
it was the first 18 holes after the
winter period and the conditions
were not easy. |
|
This
didn’t seem to deter anyone and the
girls set of full of enthusiasm and
keen to have a good time. The course
played long but fortunately the
weather held out for most of them
(the last group were caught in a
nasty hail storm!). |
|
For
a first competition the results were
fantastic and the eventual winner,
Alice Hewson scored a massive 43
points. Emily Chan was runner up
with 38 points and most of
the other girls played within their
buffer . |
|
Well done to all -
an excellent days golf in quite
difficult conditions! |
|
|
Scottish U16 Girls Open |
|
 |
One of our Hertfordshire girls
recently travelled to Scotland for
the Scottish U16 Girls Open. Emily
Chan from South Herts competed
alongside 102 International players
from England, Ireland, Scotland,
Wales and a team from Italy.
|
|
The competition was played in
Craigelaw Golf Club which proved to
be a challenging ‘links’ course .
Despite this Emily played very
consistent golf over the two days
(81, 82) and finished tied 27th
overall. This is an excellent
result within a very strong field. |
