Turnberry Hurricane Rocks Ladies' Golfing World
In gale force winds nine year Charley Hull From Kettering in Northamptonshire, swept away the opposition in the Grand Final of the 2005 Health Perception LGU Championship today at Turnberry.
Tiny Charley faced driving rain and winds gusting between 35 and 45 miles per hour to score 28 Stableford Points in this national championship to earn herself a place in the play off against 46 year old Janice Cloran from Alkrington, Manchester.
The play off was the culmination of a tough competition the initial stages of which took place between May and July this year from an original entry of 24,000 lady players from over `1270 golf clubs across Great Britain and Eire.
The resulting fourteen Regional Finalists then arrived on Sunday 25th September to prepare for the final which took place on Turnberry’s Ailsa Championship course, which provided an extreme test in the prevailing weather conditions.
Health Perception LGU Championship is the only LGU accredited competition for lady club golfers and is unique in inviting participation from individuals from not only Great Britain, but also Eire.
Third place went to Gillian Wallace from Glenisla Golf Club who was one of the two ladies representing Scotland today.
Charley received her trophy from the Managing Director of sponsors Health Perception – Olympic Gold Medallist, David Wilkie MBE.
“I first swung a golf club when I was two and my Dad has always encouraged me, as he is a regular player, but I am so excited to win today, I can’t believe it said Charley”.
Health Perception makes the UK’s best selling range of glucosamine supplements, which are designed to help keep joints supple and support the body’s connective tissues.
