Greetings golfers, 

Welcome to this week's newsletter, last week the ladies took centre stage with the Solheim Cup and here at Brampton Park we had the Skerry Chalice and the Marry Collett Bowl.

Enjoy this week's read. 

Solheim Cup

We hope many of you watched the top Ladies from Europe and USA battle it out over the weekend for the Solheim Cup. It was great viewing, the golf on display was amazing to watch and although Europe came runners up, they did themselves proud.

The United States retained the Solheim Cup with a 16½-11½ victory over Europe at Des Moines in Iowa.
The hosts went into Sunday's singles matches with a commanding 10½-5½ lead and kept their nerve to hold off Europe's attempted fightback.

Cristie Kerr and Paula Creamer both won their matches before Angel Yin secured a half point that put Juli Inkster's team on the brink of triumph. Lizette Salas clinched victory with a 1up win over Jodi Ewart Shadoff.

The United States have now won five of the last seven competitions and 10 from 15 since the Solheim Cup began in 1990.

We look forward to a Europe fightback in two years’ time.
