Day 3
The Semi Finals today kicked off at Ulverston GC Becca v Abby and Katie V Carys. The matches were fantastic demonstrating amazing golf. What a privilege to watch these girls play. All played in the spirit of the game leading to an exciting and well fought final with Becca and Katie.
What a Final from both girls playing outstanding golf culminating in a victory for Katie who is in her last year representing Cumbria County Ladies as she is training to be a pro and will no longer be eligible. Katie has been part of the County since being a tiny junior and represented us at CMW each year. We will all miss her immensely but wish her every success in her new career. Huge congratulations Katie on your double win The Best Gross and Cumbria Ladies County Champion..
Also very well played Becca in the Final a star of the future.

Squad Training 21st April
A dry day for a change for the Training Session at Penrith Golf Hub. The County Ladies Squad were put through their paces with Andrew Pickering, working on short game pin challenge outside and wedge accuracy. Lee in the SAM put lab, perfecting putting techniques, posture and putter alignment. Russ delivering the importance of fitness, building stamina, hydration and increasing speed challenges.
The ladies challenge was five holes on the course with points scored for landing on the greens. The winner was Jo Ashworth, closely followed by Becca Wildey.
A great day with lots to take forward into their practice routines.
Thank you to all the coaches.
Good luck to Becca Wildey playing in the R and A under 16 Amateur Championships 26-28th April at The Berkshire.

A new format this year but may be continued in the future.

County Training Sunday 4th February
A brilliant turnout and a fantastic first training session at PGH for The Cumbria County Ladies Squad with Andrew, Lee and Russ. They all rotated round the different aspects of the game starting with Lee and the skills test 25-75 yards, the driving test gaining a score to compare going forward. Putting with Andrew in the lab, testing stroke, equipment, loft/lie, length and grip. Then onto Speed test with Russ with fitness and swing movement. A great effort from all the squad with no rest for the three hours well done 👏👏
