Golf At Goodwood has announced the signing of 2017 Ladies European Tour Order of Merit winner player Georgia Hall as a club ambassador.
Recently voted England’s Most Welcoming Club, Golf At Goodwood has always been keen to nurture and encourage talent in the game and will provide a UK base from which Hall will compete on the LPGA Tour in 2018.
Hall’s rise to the highest level of the women’s game has been exceptional, and her performance in the 2017 Solheim Cup really made the golfing world stand up and take notice.
She has very quickly embraced the ethos of Golf At Goodwood and the club is thrilled that she has taken on the ambassador role. She said: “I have been made to feel so welcome at Goodwood since moving into the area. I can see why the club was voted Most Welcoming Club at the recent England Golf Awards. It will be the perfect base for me when I am home.”
She added: “The Downs Course is a superb test, the academy provides great practice facilities, and the health club has a perfect gym for me to make sure I can work on all the facets of my game when I’m not on tour. It’s great to see first-hand all the work going on in terms of growing the game with both the juniors and women’s Get Into Golf programmes, and I look forward to helping the team with this vision.”
Stuart Gillett, Golf at Goodwood’s general manager, said; “Georgia has always had an association with the south coast, and with her move further east we are delighted she has chosen Goodwood to be her home club. We are thrilled she has felt at home so quickly at Goodwood; the challenge of the Downs Course and our other facilities will provide her with a suitable training ground where she can hone her skills and continue her rise to the top of the women’s game. She has become a global player and I am sure she will be challenging for Major honours this year and, who knows, we may have our second Major champion after Justin Rose’s win at Merion in 2013.”
