Vagliano Trophy

LGU Press Release

VAGLIANO TEAM PRACTISE AT ST ANDREWS

The team of nine players who have been selected to defend the Vagliano Trophy against the Continent of Europe at Fairmont, St Andrews in July will assemble there for pre match practice from Thursday 28 June – Sunday 1 July.

The match will be played over the Torrance Course on 27 & 28 July and as Mary McKenna, the team Captain said; “not many of our team know the course so we have a lot of homework to do by the end of this week.”

“We’ll mainly be working on yardages, alternative pin positions and the game plan to be used on each hole so that when we go there for the match at the end of July, the course management strategy will be down on paper.”

“This week we will also have a first look at possible pairings, remembering that in South Africa for the Commonwealth Tournament the pairings we used worked really well.”

For the training session, Mary will be assisted by Tegwen Matthews and LGU coach Lawrence Farmer who will be able to advise on course management.

Mary continued; “First and foremost it is a great chance for the girls to get to know each other and to work out a strategy away from the pressure of the match.”
