Alex and Ann Peters win Mothers & Daughters
open scratch foursomes
at Royal Mid Surrey

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Nottinghamshire 14-year-old Alex Peters teamed up with her mother Ann to claim their first victory in the Mothers and Daughters 27-hole open scratch foursomes at Royal Mid Surrey in Richmond.
Alex, from the English Women’s Golf Association Under-18 Squad, became one of the youngest winners of this traditional event since it was first played in 1932. She adds it to a host of other titles which include the Midlands’ ladies and the 2006 English Under-13 girls’ championships.
The scratch golfer and her five-handicap mother ended the winning run of seasoned competitors, Liz Boatman from Royal Worlington and her daughter Alex Howe from Royal County Down.
The five-times winners had to settle for third place on this occasion. The runners-up included another 14-year-old. Charlotte Griffith, an eight- handicap from Walton Heath, played with her mother Christine, a former professional. They coped well in the increasingly windy conditions in the afternoon nine holes and nearly caught the leaders – but the Peters claimed a one-shot victory.
