Several former Young Masters Golf (YMG) students have taken the first step on the ladder of national recognition by being called up to the English Women’s Golf Association’s five Birdie training squads for 2010/11.
Lily Farr, from Gainsborough (pictured), Bethany Griffin, from Horsley Lodge, in Derbyshire, and Imogen Huxley, of Rutland County, Lincolnshire, have all been included in the 32-strong training squad for the country’s youngest and most promising players.
Farr achieved her gold YMG status in May 2005, while Griffin went on to attain Masters 2 level in November 2006. And Huxley, who spent four years in the scheme, reached the gold level in May 2007.
YMG’s founding director Chris Smith was delighted to learn of the girls’ success in being chosen for the Birdie squads.
He said: “We’re always pleased to hear of our former students’ progress in golf and we congratulate the girls on their achievement. I’m sure, with the benefit of the experience they will gain from these squads, we will see them continue to progress in golf.”
