Alex Peters, 14, makes history in Nottinghamshire championship
She took the title at Sherwood Forest, following in the footsteps of her mother, Ann, who is also a previous winner. They are the only mother and daughter to have both won this championship.
What’s more, Alex shot scores of six-under par 67 and 71 in qualifying and has now cut her handicap to plus-one.
Alex, a member at Notts’ Ladies, was the top qualifier for the knockout stages. She won her first two matches on the 13th and closed out her semi-final on the 15th. In the final she met former British champion Janet Collingham and, after a tight tussle, emerged as the one-up winner.
Alex, who is a member of the English Women’s Golf Association U18 Squad, has enjoyed a string of successes already this season. She won the girls’ title at the Fairhaven Trophy, the Nottinghamshire girls’ championship and, partnered by her mum, the prestigious Mothers and Daughters competition.
