NEW GOLFING EVENT FOR WOMEN |
|
Health Perception Ladies’ Championship
of Great Britain & Ireland |
New Championship grows as it enters
Second Year of Success
|
The 2004 Health Perception Ladies’ Championship of Great
Britain & Ireland is getting underway in April. This newly created
golfing event proved to be the success story of 2003 with over 20,000 lady
golfers taking part in the golf club level qualifiers.
This is the only individual championship that
sets out to include lady golfers from both sides of the Irish Sea and is
run in association with the sport’s governing body, the Ladies’ Golf Union.
The 2003 Championship saw 13 players battle
it out for the title at Wentworth last September with Heather Neale of
the Cowes Golf Club returning as the victor, despite a tied winning score.
She enjoyed an evening at which she received a specially commissioned bronze
trophy from Rugby World Cup hero and England skipper, Lawrence Dallaglio,
and she will take part in the Pro-Am at this year’s Weetabix Women’s British
Open in July.
Due to its popularity in its first year,
Health Perception have agreed to increase the number of Regional Finals
from 13 to 16, venues for which will be announced shortly. Sixteen players
will then compete at the Grand Final that will once again take place at
Wentworth on September 28th, over its World famous West Course.
The Championship’s Regional Finals and Final
will see the familiar figure of Olympic Gold Medallist, David Wilkie MBE
striding the fairways. David is Managing Director of the event sponsors,
Health Perception, the health supplement company he founded 15 years ago
after his international sporting success.
 David
is not a golfer (yet!) but took a keen interest in last year’s
championship: “The 2003 Championship showed us the great need there was to
create a competition like this and it has already established itself as one
of the key events in the ladies’ golf calendar.”

PS from Helen Franks, features editor,
laterlife.com:
Why does the golfing world insist on the term
‘ladies’ ? Once upon a time, the men were ‘gentlemen’, but now they are
simply ‘men’. Maybe it’s because male players belong to the 21st
century, while the term ‘ladies’ reflects old-fashioned attitudes towards
women on the golf course.
Time to catch up, chaps?
