2008 PEUGEOT CORONATION FOURSOMES:
CLUBS TO ARRANGE QUALIFYING
COMPETITIONS UP TO JUNE 18

The Ladies’ Golf Union and title sponsors Peugeot are delighted to announce the launch of the 2008 Peugeot Coronation Foursomes. Entering its seventh year of partnership with Peugeot, the competition has again underlined its position as the UK’s most popular event for lady club golfers with more than 34,000 competitors from 1,300 clubs competing in last year’s competition.
Clubs are invited to hold Stableford qualifying competitions any time until June 18. The closing date for entries is Friday, June 20, 2008.
Successful club representatives will progress through to one of 12 Area Finals, contested throughout July and August. The ladies will vie for a place in the Grand Final and ultimately a place in the Pro-Am of the 2009 Ricoh Women’s British Open for the winners.
“The Peugeot Coronation Foursomes is a hugely popular event and with Peugeot’s continued and welcome support we look forward to another successful year of competition.” said Susan Simpson, the LGU’s Director of Championships. “The competition continues to provide ladies with a competitive opportunity, the chance to play other courses, have fun and make new friends and the LGU is indebted to Peugeot.”
“We are delighted to continue our sponsorship of the Peugeot Coronation Foursomes and hope that we can continue to support and encourage lady golfers through our involvement in this event” said Catherine Bowles, Marketing Events.
In 2007, the Scottish mother and daughter pairing of Karina Matson and Elspeth Adair from Lothianburn held their nerve to win the title with a score of 32 Stableford points. They now look forward to playing with one of the world’s leading professionals in the pro-am of the 2008 Ricoh Women’s British Open at Sunningdale on Tuesday, July 29.
The hugely successful online entry system, piloted in 2007, will continue this year and further information on how to enter this year’s competition can be found on the 2008 Peugeot Coronation Foursomes pages of the LGU Website.
The 2008 Grand Final will take place in St Andrews on Monday, September 22.
