Alex and Ann Peters win Mothers and Daughters

Nottinghamshire 14-year-old Alex Peters teamed up with her mother, Ann (both Notts), to claim their first victory in the Mothers and Daughters 27-hole open scratch foursomes at Royal Mid Surrey in Richmond.

Alex, from the English Women’s Golf Association U18 Squad, became one of the youngest winners of this traditional event since it was first played in 1932. She adds it to a host of other titles which include the Midlands’ ladies and the 2006 English U13 girls’ championships.

The scratch golfer and her five-handicap mother ended the winning run of seasoned competitors, Liz Boatman from Royal Worlington and her daughter Alex Howe from Royal County Down. The runners-up included another 14-year-old. Charlotte Griffith, an eight- handicap from Walton Heath, played with her mother Christine, a former professional. They coped well in the increasingly windy conditions in the afternoon nine holes and nearly caught the leaders – but the Peters claimed a one-shot victory

Janet makes it to the semi's at the English Senior Championship

Congratulations to Janet Collingham & Gillian Stump (both Sherwood Forest) for their recent successes in the English Senior Amateur Championship held at Stoneham Golf Club (Hampshire)

Janet (competing in her first Senior tournament) qualified 9^th for the matchplay stage of the competition with rounds of 76 & 74 whilst Gillian made it into the second flight of match play in 4^th place with rounds of 81 & 86.

Gillian won her first round match by 3&2 but unfortunately lost in the quarter finals on the 18^th green.

Janet comfortably beat Pat West from Lincolnshire in the first round by 6&5 then had a real battle in the quarter finals. After 5 holes, she was five down against Hampshire star Chris Quinn.

Janet, a former British champion, said afterwards: “I thought I was on my way home! Nothing seemed to go right on the first few holes, I under-clubbed on the first two and then had a three putt.” By the seventh she was five down to Chris, the top seed who has twice won this title. But Janet urged herself to be patient. “I knew I was playing well, I just had to keep going and see what happened.” The seventh was the last hole Janet was to lose. From then on she whittled away at the lead, assisted by an impressive ability to get up and down when necessary. She squared matters on the 15th, took the lead for the first time with a par four on the 17th and signed off for a one-up win.

The semi-final was equally close with Janet narrowly losing on the 18^th – a great championship for both Sherwood ladies though!

Notts ladies enjoy success in Portuguese Seniors

Notts players Gillian Stump (Sherwood), Andrea Stockdale (Mapperley) and Janet Dolemen (Rushcliffe) playing for the first time on Portugese soil posted some good results.

Janet was 6^th in Division 1, Andrea 12^th in Division 1 (0-6). Gillian was12th in Division 2 (6.1-12)

They will spend a week at the La Cala resort, near Marbella, from Saturday, February 16 where they will work with EWGA’s national junior coach Pat Smillie, physiotherapist Julie Sparrow and psychologist Brian Hemmings.

Congratulations to Katie Best (Sherwood), 18, who along with 3 other players from the regional Select squads have been picked for the training in recognition of their commitment and progress. The girls  will spend five days at the La Cala resort, near Marbella, from February 18-22, and will work with EWGA coach Steve Robinson and EWGA physiotherapist Su Barry.   

Katie was the runner-up in the 2007 English girls’ championship. She is the Nottinghamshire girls’ champion and a past winner of the Midland girls’ U18 championship and the Midland schools’ championship. Katie plays off one handicap.
