Local golfers Esther McNeill and Jane Martin, both members at Barlaston Golf Club, have made it through to the National Grand Final of the American Golf Ladies Championship after a tough qualifying competition at High Legh Park Golf Club.
The pair will now take their places at Ryder Cup venue The Belfry on 9th and 10th September to battle it out over the Brabazon Course for the title of best Ladies Pair in the UK.
In a closely fought contest, the pair were edged into second place by Preston pair Kate Clarkson and Sue Green while just holding off Christine McEwan and Lesley Hewison from High Legh Park Golf Club who matched their 43 point total. A fantastic back nine 23 points secured the second qualifying spot and all three pairs will now take on qualifiers from all over the U.K. in the National Grand Final at the iconic Midlands Ryder Cup venue.
