With the Womens 72 Hole Team Championship, Mid Amateur IPT and U/13 IPT all in the same week, it was an exciting one for all our Daisy supporters and players. The Women’s 72 Hole A Team kicked off the success, by winning the Swiss Trophy 6 shots ahead of nearest competitors. The B Team finished only 1 shot behind for the Challenge Trophy.
Next up was the U/13 IPT, where our young golfers managed to secure bronze in the Team Championship.
The week ended on a high, with the Mid Amateur IPT going down to the very last hole and our Daisies bringing home the trophy, which we have now won 4 times in the last 6 tournaments.
We are extremely proud of all our Daisies, who have flown our flag high!
