Becky's Honour
Welsh golf has further cause for celebration, with Becky Harries announced as the winner of the Joyce Wetherhead award for an up and coming golfer, at the Daily Telegraph Golf Awards for 2005. Wethered, who won four of the six British titles in which she played from 1922-1929, specified that her trophy should go to an up-and-coming competitor who has successfully combined golf with education or a job. Becky has achieved this by studying on a business course at Pembrokeshire College and developing her game as a member of the College’s Golf Academy. Nick Faldo, the Patron of Pembrokeshire Golf Academy, commented: “Congratulations to Becky on her well-deserved award. I am delighted that the opportunity for students to combine studies and golf at Pembrokeshire College Golf Academy is proving such a success.”
