Irish ladies bidding for ‘Home’ victory at Cork

Most of the top lady golfers from Ireland and Britain, including Curtis Cup stars, will compete in the prestigious Ladies Home International Championships at Cork Golf Club next week.

The three-day event, starting from Tuesday, Sept 4, involves Ireland, England, Scotland, and Wales playing each other in a Round Robin format comprising three foursomes each morning and six singles in the afternoons.

Wales, with Curtis Cup star Amy Boulden in their squad, and Scotland get the programme under way at 8.30am on Tuesday, followed by the encounter between Ireland and England. The visitors have a formidable line-up, including four Curtis Cup players — Kelly Tidy, Holly Clyburn, Charley Hull, and Bronte Law.
