A team of lady golfers from Sand Martins Golf Club have just been pipped at the post after reaching the final of the Annodata Matchplay Golf Classic – a national golf club team event for men andwomen across the UK.
720 teams competed nationally for a place in the Grand Finals which were held at the Montecastillo Golf Resort near Jerez in Spain.
Only four semi finalists for the women’s trophy got the invite to compete in one of the most prestigious competitions in national club golf.
Seven local players and their supporters flew to Spain for the semi-final which was played on Wednesday, March 8 against Brampton Park Golf Club from Cambridgeshire.
Five ladies played, winning three of their singles matches and halving another to get into the Final on March 9.
The final was up against local Surrey rivals Tandridge Golf Club. Despite their best efforts in the unseasonably cool and damp conditions, the ladies lost three of their five matches and ended as runners-up on the day.
Sand Martins’ members are very proud of the ladies’ achievement as teams have to overcome seven rounds of match play against rivals from across the country to win one of the tougher match play events in the UK.
