Last call for all golfing Mothers and Daughters

 

By JO THESIGER

On Saturday, April 16, Royal Mid Surrey golf club in Richmond, will enjoy its annual  festival of golfing Mothers and Daughters, who compete over 27-holes of medal foursomes to win the coveted Trophy.

Many legendary names have added their names to the honours board, including former England international and rookie professional Alexandra Peters, who scored a hat-trick  with her mother, Ann, from 2008 to 2010.   They followed another formidable pair, Liz Boatman, former Curtis Cup Captain and player, with her daughter Alex, who had also enjoyed three successive victories from 2005 to 2007.

This year, 15-year-old Amelia Williamson from Royal Cromer in Norfolk, is back with her mother Tracey, eight-times Norfolk champion, on a mission to make it three in a row!  The holders for the last couple of years look in good shape, with Amelia topping the Norfolk women’s order of merit in 2015.

 

Entries officially close for this unique event on Friday, March 18 but if you are interested after this date, there may still be spaces available if you contact the competition organiser directly -
