Pavenham Park pair in Ping 4BBB Grand Final at Gainsborough GC

Teenagers Luca Thompson and Imogen Morton King, both from Pavenham Park GC played in the Final of the Ping 4BBB and their excellent score of 42 points was beaten on countback by Kerry Lamb and Tina Sampson of Tankersley Park, Sheffield.

The PP duo started very strongly and their betterball score was one-over par after nine holes and they had amassed 22 points by the turn. But although they scored well on the inward half it wasn’t quite enough to win and they confessed to a mixture of disappointment and pleasure.

“It’s such a good event,” said Luca, who has been playing golf for 18 months and has a 13 handicap. “England Golf events are so different, they really feel like a championship.” She reached the national final of the Bridgestone Chase Your Dream Trophy which was played during the recent England Golf Week.

Imogen, an 11-handicapper and club champion, is a Girls Golf Rocks ambassador in Bedfordshire, encouraging other girls to play golf as part of the project run by England Golf and the Golf Foundation. On 6 September she and two other ambassadors will make up a county team in the pro-am of the Bridgestone Challenge pro-am at Luton Hoo.
