Two players from ELGA’s performance squad will tee up in the event: Rachel Jennings, the 2006 English girls’ champion, comes from Izaak Walton in Staffordshire, while Jo Hodge plays at Knowle in Gloucestershire. Both were England girl internationals.
Another contender is Claire Aitken from The London who has won four prestigious scratch events this season. They are the Frilford Heath Scratch Salver, the Critchley Salver, the Roehampton Gold Cup and the Hampshire Rose.
Scotland is well represented with four players: Emma Fairnie (Dunbar), Claire Hargan (Morton Hall), Claire MacDonald (Gullane Ladies) and England-based Edwina Lowrey-Gold (Eaton).
The ladies’ course has been lengthened by 337 yard for this event. It measures 5962 yards, has a par of 71 and a scratch score rating on 75.
