Mrs Jill Edwards MBE will become the next President of the Ladies' Golf Union when the current post holder, Mrs Maureen Lockett, retires at the AGM in February 2011. Jill was Chairman of the LGU in 1998.

Jill and husband Alan are members at both Llanishen and Royal St David's. Jill joined Llanishen Golf Club at the age of 13, winning the Welsh Girls' Championship in two successive years and representing Glamorgan as a player and Captain on many occasions. In 1969 Jill was club champion concurrently at four different golf clubs!

Her outstanding contribution to golf in Wales was recognised in 2006 when she was awarded the MBE in the Queen's Birthday Honours.

We wish Jill a very successful term in office and we're sure that Alan will give her all his support. Our best wishes to both of them.

Geraint Jones regained the trophy he won in 2007 when he won the Club Championship on Saturday 26th June. Gross scores of 71 and 73 saw him win by a comfortable 6 shots from second placed Llion Lloyd Kerry on 149 and Neil Hollands on 150.

5 handicapper Sam Higgins was fourth on 152, but Sam also won the best nett prize with a 142 after a second round gross of 69. He beat Lewis Jones and Barry John, both playing off 6, on a card play-off.

Not able to defend his crown was Jamie Howie who made the cut in the Brabazon Trophy at Royal Liverpool. He finished 58th out of a starting field of 153 with rounds of 77,75,75 and 84. The CSS for the first three rounds was 76, and 77 for the final round, which reflected the difficulty of the course and conditions.

The winner, Darren Wright of Rowlands Castle GC was the only sub-par player with a four round total of 285, 3 under par. Other notable finishers were Oliver Farr, 5th on 292 (+4) and Eddie Pepperell, winner of the Welsh Open Stroke Play held here last month, who was 33rd on 304 (+16).
