DEBUT IN CH/SHIP AT DALMAHOY

Bev New, who has seen it all and done it all both as an amateur and a professional, is an eye-catching name among the early entries for the fifth and final event of the 2014 Paul Lawrie Golf Centre Ladies Tartan Tour - the £8,000 Tour Championship over two days (September 9-10) at the West and East Courses, Marriott Dalmahoy, Edinburgh.
One of the most successful English female golfers over the past 30 years, Bev turned professional for a second time in the summer of 2012 so that she could become a coach at Lansdown Golf Club, Bath, her original base, where she is an honorary life member.
In her early career, Bev was English women's amateur champion in 1980 and played for GB and I in the 1984 Curtis Cup match at Muirfield.
New spent the next 13 years as a tour pro before being reinstated as an amateur and captaining the England home internationals team for two years. She won the British senior women's championship at West Kilbride in 2010 (pictured above with the piper) and played for England seniors and captained that team for two years.
"I hardly play any competitive golf these days as my coaching keeps me very busy. However, Dalmahoy interested me as I played there in my European Tour days and a trip to Scotland with a friend seemed like a nice idea, and to support a professional event sounded like a great idea," says Bev
"So, no big expectations but looking forward to an enjoyable few days, with a stop off at Silloth on the way up, another lovely memory I have playing there."
