The Great Britain & Ireland Curtis Cup team arrives in St Andrews tomorrow for a final practice session at the “Home of Golf”.At the end of this month, the team will face the USA in an historic golf match over The Old Course, St Andrews, playing in a new three day format from 30 May – 1 June.
The team, captained by Ireland’s Mary McKenna, has a packed schedule which includes practice on the Old and New Courses, media training, and uniform fittings.
Under the watchful eyes of Manager, Tegwen Matthews and Coach, Lawrence Farmer, the team will concentrate on course management and familiarisation with the venue.
Krystle Caithness (St Regulus) and Jodi Ewart (Catterick) have academic commitments in the US and are therefore unable to join their teammates.
Following a Media Day on Monday at The Duke’s, St Andrews, the team will travel to London for a special engagement at Buckingham Palace with HRH The Duke of York.
