A RISING star of the golf scene who cut her teeth at a Knowl Hill course has signed up to a new partnership.
Cara Gainer was placed 16th in the 2023 year-end rankings, and 145 in the Rolex World rankings for female golf.
This year, she hopes to secure her card on the LPGA next year and participate in all major championships.
Since she was 14, she was treading the links at the Castle Royle Golf and Country Club. Now, its parent company, The Club Company, is giving her their backing with a new partnership.
The firm says it shows its commitment to championing its members and the local community, ensuring everyone has a chance to achieve their own version of greatness.
And, in return, they say her commitment to the club is evident in every interview and television appearance, including her recent documentary From Scratch, which was featured during the build-up to the Open Championship.
Richard Calvert, CEO of The Club Company, said: “The Club Company is honoured to be associated with a player who not only excels on the green but also remains a passionate advocate for her home club, which resonates deeply with The Club Company’s commitment to fostering an inclusive, empowering environment for all.
“In a time where women’s professional golf is experiencing a deserved surge in popularity, we are delighted to contribute to this momentum and with such a remarkable and dedicated athlete.
“It’s more than just about golf; it’s about inspiring young women to break barriers and forge their paths in the world of sport.
“We believe her story will inspire young members of our clubs to embrace the sport and aim for greatness.”
