Lilleshall Hall Golf Club, in Telford, has welcomed in Chris Downing and Becca Buckingham as the club’s new Lady and Junior Captain.
The pair have nominated the Severn Hospice, which supports more than 2,800 local people every year who are living with an incurable illness, as their captain’s charity. They will raise funds for the hospice with club activities throughout the year.
Chris, who lives in Newport, joined Lilleshall Hall Golf Club eight years ago.
“I took up golf as a sport to enjoy during my retirement and love playing golf at Lilleshall. It’s not just playing the course, but the lovely people you meet at the club.''
''It has a great social scene and I want to encourage more women to try golf this year. I shall be working closely with England Golf, the governing body for the sport, supporting their ‘Get into Golf’ campaign that is attracting more people to give golf a go. I was pleased I began playing golf and want more people to experience the thrill of the game,” said Chris.
Seventeen-year-old Becca is the first girl in Lilleshall Hall Golf Club’s history to be Junior Captain and has ambitions to work in the golf industry.
