Cheshire’s Caroline Marron aims for an English seniors’ double
NEWS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE ENGLISH WOMEN'S GOLF ASSOCIATION
Cheshire’s Caroline Marron will be aiming for a title double when the English senior women’s strokeplay championship takes place next week, June 15-17, at Stockport Golf Club in her home county.
Caroline (Bromborough) won the English senior championship at Littlestone in April and now sets out to emulate Hampshire’s Chris Quinn, who won both titles last year.
Caroline is one of an impressive local entry of 12 Cheshire players. They include senior international Sue Dye (Delamere Forest) who won this strokeplay title in 2007 and went on to win the English senior championship the following year. Also in the field is Sandiway’s Barbara Laird, who has represented England seniors.
Among the other prominent names are former champion Janet Melville (Sherwood Forest), Roz Adams (Addington Court), Felicity Christine (Banstead Downs) and Norfolk’s Jo Ashmore (Barnham Broom) who will be returning to major competition following knee surgery. Debbie Richards (Burhill), who made her first appearance in a senior event at Littlestone and won the Division Two prize, will also contest this event.
They’re among a field of almost 70 competitors, whose handicaps start at one, and who represent 20 English counties. Missing from the field however, is Chris Quinn (Hockley), who has amassed four English and one British senior titles. She is unable to defend this championship because of work commitments.
The championship takes place from Tuesday, 15 June to Thursday, 17 June. The whole field will play 18 holes on each of the first two days. The top half of the field, plus ties, will play the final 18 holes on Thursday.
Stockport has hosted regional Open qualifying events five times and was the venue for the 1988 final of EWGA’s English Counties’ Championship. On this occasion the ladies’ course has been lengthened slightly to 5621 yards. It has a par of 71 and a USGA scratch score rating of 73.
Spectators are welcome.
