THE 2007 PEUGEOT CORONATION FOURSOMES

The Ladies’ Golf Union is pleased to announce the launch of the 2007 Peugeot Coronation Foursomes. Now entering its sixth year of partnership with Peugeot, the French car manufacturer, the competition continues to grow from strength to strength with more than 34,000 lady golfers from 1400 clubs nationwide competing in 2006.

Winning at club level is only the start of a trail that leads through to Area Finals, the Grand Final in St Andrews and ultimately a place in the Pro-Am of the 2008 Women’s British Open for the winners.

“One of the great attractions of the Peugeot Coronation Foursomes is that it is a handicap tournament for all lady club golfers” said Susan Simpson the LGU’s Director of Championships.

“We have found over the years that it is not necessarily the lower handicapped players who reach the Grand Final. We hope that this competition not only encourages as many ladies as possible to take part in competitive golf but also allows them to play other courses, have fun and make new friends”

In 2006, it was the Yorkshire pairing of Denise Jenkins and Pat Stageman from Allerthorpe Park, Yorkshire who overcame any nerves to win the Grand Final in St Andrews. They now look forward to playing with one of the world’s leading professionals in the Pro-Am of the 2007 Women’s British Open, which will be played over the Old Course, St Andrews on Wednesday 1 August 2007.

2007 also sees the launch of a new online entry system. From March 2007 clubs will be able to enter and pay club entry fees online using the latest technology so successfully implemented for other LGU Championships a few years ago. 

Clubs are invited to hold qualifying rounds between 1 March and 20 June with the closing date for entries 22 June 2007. From there, successful pairs will progress through to one of twelve Area Finals, which will be contested throughout July and August. 

The Grand Final will be played over the Eden Course, St Andrews on 24 September 2007.
