Home town: Maidstone, Kent
Date of Birth: March 2 1983
Golf Club: Bearsted. Curtis Cup Debutante


Her dad and brother persuaded her to start playing golf at the age of 10 - which she did, left-handed! Switched to right-handed style at 12 and played competitively since 13-14 years.

She won the French U-16 girls' open match play title and was Kent county champion in 2000 and 2002. Danielle was England Under-21 and U23 stroke-play champion in 2002. In 2003, she reached the semi-finals of the English women's amateur championship. Won the Welsh open amateur stroke-play championship at Ashburnham with an aggregate of 216 - two shots ahead of Anna Highgate - in early May.

Danielle was leading qualifier for the match-play stages of the 2003 British women's open amateur championship before losing in the third round.

Made the breakthrough on the international scene in 2003, representing England in the European team championship at Frankfurt and the women's home internationals.

Played for GB&I in the Vagliano Trophy match at County Louth last August and, in the last singles tie, Danielle go the trophy-clinching half-point. No wonder she rates it her most memorable golfing experience.

Golfing Superstitions: Likes to kiss the golf ball and make sign of the Cross before teeing off.

When not golfing, Danielle is a driver for Porsche Lindbrook and is also a private chauffeur.

Loves socialising, clubbing, music, having fun and playing on the computer. Hip hop, dance and chart music are her favourites.
