In late August the Staverton Park GC Ladies Captain, Sam Harding and Vice Captain Denise Aitchison played round seven of the Daily Mail Foursomes National competition, comfortably beating their opponents from Porters Park GC 6&5.
The ladies now travel to Marriott St Pierre in Chepstow for the finals event in October, where the last 16 pairs out of an entry of over 3000 compete for the trophy.
It can be said that the lucky matching dresses strike again!
And following the club’s Presidents Day qualifier, both Sam and Denise’s handicap index reduced to a matching 15.8! They both agreed “It was a sign!”
Good luck in the finals ladies. A little bird tells me there’s some new kit shopping to be done!
