NEWS RELEASE FROM THE IRISH LADIES GOLF UNION

In a new departure, the Irish Ladies Golf Union is sending four members of its High Performance Squad to participate in the 72 hole Mexican Ladies Amateur Open Strokeplay in Mexico City from January 8 to 11.
The Mexican Golf Federation, recently confirmed as host to the World Amateur Team Championships in 2016, is keen to showcase their facilities and organisational skills and the ILGU high Performance Committee saw its women's amateur open stroke-play as an ideal opportunity to kick-start the 2013 season.

High Performance Manager David Kearney will be on-hand to provide technical and tactical assistance to senior cap Chloe Ryan (Castletroy), pictured above, and her Under-18 international team-mates Jean O’Driscoll (Muskerry), Olivia Mehaffey (Royal Co. Down Ladies) and Ariana Coyle Diez (Elm Park).

The 72 hole event tees off on Tuesday with the first of four consecutive stroke-play rounds. The champion will be crowned on Friday afternoon.

Ireland will be represented by Chloe and Jean in the two-player Nations Cup.
