Walton Heath wins English Women’s Champion Club

Walton Heath Golf Club in Surrey were crowned the first ever winners of the English Women’s Champion Club after beating 17 other teams at St Ives Golf Club.

Nicola Taylor and 14-year-old twins Annabel Peaford and Emily Peaford helped their team win the event by 14 shots ahead of Ganton Golf Club. Emily’s 74 and 67, along with sister Annabel’s pair of 70s across both days, helped them to a comfortable victory.

In second place was Ganton’s Staveley, Sara Gilmore and Heather Butcher with Northamptonshire County’s Hattie Billson, Lila Bissett and Olivia Holioak Church in third place. Eighteen clubs represented each of their counties at the first annual Women’s Champion Club, with three players from each club playing 18 holes on each of Saturday and Sunday, and the two best scores from three players on each day counting.

But it was a particularly extraordinary tournament because of the course record for their category being broken not just once, but three times over the two days.
First it was Walton Heath’s Annabel Peaford with a 70 (-2) on day one, before Ganton’s Amy Staveley made 69 (-3) on the second day. However, Annabel’s twin sister Emily broke the record just two hours later, with an eagle and four birdies on her way to 67 (-5). Emily’s astonishing eagle included a stunning 257-yard drive on the par four 13th hole, which finished just a foot from the pin for a tap-in.

She said: “I was excited because I knew I could try and drive it but on the first round I hit into a bush! The second day I was just thinking to get it to the green for a birdie or par and it ended up a foot away from the flag. It was amazing! I’ve never had a hole-in-one and I know quite a few who have, including my sister, so hopefully I’ll have one in the future!”

Emily and Annabel weren’t aware of Annabel’s course record on the Saturday until they arrived for the final day of action. Emily continued: “It was strange, we didn’t realise it was the course record on Saturday, it was only when we got to the course on the second day. Nobody had told me, so afterwards when people said I had taken the record away from my sister, it was quite pleasing. She’s had a really good season and overtaken me, so it was nice to get back at her with that one!”

Even more remarkably, Emily has now broken two course records in a week, with a stunning -9 at North Hants Golf Club just five days before her St Ives success. She admitted: “It was a Justin Rose Daily Telegraph Qualifier on the Tuesday morning and I didn’t play too well so I didn’t qualify, but in the afternoon it was a Stableford competition, so I tried to play freely. I birdied the first three holes, before an eagle on the 4th and another birdie on the 5th. I was six-under through five but one bogey on 7 brought me down to earth before a nice eagle on the 18th! I finished with 45 points to win it which, off scratch, I wasn’t expecting. One of the eagles was a par four, where I drove it over the back of the green and chipped in! There has obviously been some wind helping but I’ve definitely gained some distance in the last few months.”

Commenting on the inaugural Women’s Champion Club event, Emily, said: “We all worked really hard and there’s always such a good atmosphere at Walton Heath so to bring a team together to not just play in the first year of the Women’s Champion Club, but to win it, was amazing! The event was great as was the club, the course and the atmosphere.”
