GB&I Vagliano Trophy team to play
in LET's AIB Ladies Irish Open
FROM THE LADIES EUROPEAN TOUR WEBSITE
Twenty Eleven, the Promoters of the AIB Ladies Irish Open and The 2011 Solheim Cup at Killeen Castle, in association with the Ladies European Tour and the Ladies Golf Union have completed a unique arrangement that will enable the top nine female amateur golfers from Great Britain and Ireland to play in the 2009 AIB Ladies Irish Open, supported by Fáilte Ireland at Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links from 26th - 28th June, 2009.
All nine members of the team selected for the Vagliano Trophy will be invited to play in the AIB Ladies Irish Open as part of the team’s preparation for the matches against the Continent of Europe in July, under the watchful eye and guidance of Team Captain, Mary McKenna.
The announcement is significant from an Irish point of view as there is a possibility that several Irish amateurs could qualify for the Vagliano Team. These would include Lisa and Leona Maguire and Danielle McVeigh who have been showing good form recently. In addition, the Promoters confirmed they had previously extended an invitation to Stephanie Meadow, the 17 year old amateur star from County Antrim, who is now based in the USA.
Shona Malcolm, CEO of the LGU commented: “This really does present the Promoters, the LET and the Ladies' Golf Union with an excellent opportunity to promote partnership working between the amateur and professional ranks in golf, and can only be beneficial to building pathways between the two disciplines of the game. It is a win win situation”.
Mary McKenna commented:“I am delighted that my team will be together and have the experience of testing themselves against the best players in the game. This opportunity will also allow us to get together for a dedicated team day at Killeen Castle which will be of great help in our preparations for the matches in July.”
Speaking at today’s announcement of the 2009 AIB Ladies Irish Open Mr. Billy Andrews, General Manager of AIB, said:“We are delighted with this development as it embraces the amateur game in Ireland by giving some of our talented young players the chance of playing against the professionals and gain invaluable experience for their futures.”
