OXFORDSHIRE GOLF CLUB GIVES

11-year-old CHARLEY HULL

JUNIOR GOLF SCHOLARSHIP

Eleven-year-old golfing prodigy Charley Hull has been awarded a junior golf scholarship by The Oxfordshire Golf Club.
Charley, pictured right, played the Ladies English Open venue as a guest at the London Golf Show media day and club officials were so impressed with her performance they were waiting to make her the offer as she walked off the 18th green.
The scholarship gives Charley seven-day use of the championship course, entry into all of the club’s competitions, complimentary balls and use of the practice facilities and access to The Oxfordshire’s well respected professional teaching staff.
One of the hottest prospects in ladies’ golf, Charley plays off an impressive handicap of four and has already made her mark in several competitions.
In 2005 she became the youngest ever winner of the GB & Ireland Ladies Amateur Championship. Since then she’s appeared at numerous events playing alongside the pros including the 2007 Woman’s Texas Open where she turned many a head with consistent good shots – and she also helped her team to victory at The Oxfordshire.
The Oxfordshire’s Sam Smith said: “Charley’s performance was outstanding; seeing someone that young playing so well was unbelievable.
“Everyone was so impressed we felt impelled to do something to help her realise her obvious potential and hopefully she’ll benefit from playing here under the watchful eye of our team of pros.”
Charley said: “The course was well good. I really enjoyed it, especially the fast greens. It was the first time I'd ever played the course but I thought I played well. I can't wait to go back and play the greens when they are perfect - hopefully this summer in the Pro-Am for the Ladies English Open.
“I want to become the best golfer in the world so hopefully I'll have lots of chances to play great courses again and again.”
