During week commencing Sunday 6th August four teams from England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales competed in an Under 18’s girls International tournament at Radyr Golf Club. Following the practice days on Sunday and Monday the competition commenced on Tuesday with a foursomes competition in the morning and a singles competition in the afternoon. Each country played each other over 18 holes. The contest was close right up to the last day when in the final match between Wales and England the match was won by England on the 17th hole. This resulted in England winning the tournament, with Ireland second, Wales third and Scotland fourth. Georgia Hall of England is the sixth best lady amateur golfer in the World. The presentation was made on the patio in bright sunlight in front of a large crowd by the ladies captain of Radyr Golf Club, Mrs Katherine Collier. Ron Jones, Club Captain, thanked the teams for their quality play and making the week so enjoyable. The President of WLGU, Jill Edwards and the International team organiser praised the golf club on their warm welcome, the club facilities, the excellent course and all the staff and volunteers who had scored, ball spotted and provided refreshments and support when needed. This was a superb event and puts Radyr Golf Club on the International map for the future. The Tournament will be featured on SKY SPORTS 1 Television early in September.
