and David Morgan (Pontnewydd) with 96. Winning the nett
prize on the day was eleven year old Alex Price (Llanwern),

the Spring Medal at Llandrindod Wells with James Zanotti

Faldo
Series Success for Becky |
17
year-old Becky Harries, from Harverfordwest was a joint winner
in the Girl’s Under 18 section of this year's Faldo
Series at the Celtic Manor Resort recently. She tied with
16 year-old Hannah Barwood, from Bristol. Both young players
shot a level par score of 74 to take the top spot in their
category.
It seems fitting that the
first event of the Southwest England and South Wales region
should have been played at The Celtic Manor Resort, as the
club is the current home to the Faldo Series. Every player
in the field will hope to progress well in the region’s
remaining two tournaments and return to Celtic Manor for the
Faldo Series final 2006, which will be played at the resort
on the 4th - 6th of October.
