Staplehurst golfer Chloe Frankish's impressive progress continues with call-up to England Girls' squad
by Craig Tucker
Self-taught golfer Chloe Frankish has been called up by
England Girls.
Frankish, pictured, whose ambition is to be the best female
golfer in the world, will train with the squad once a month.
The 13-year-old, from Staplehurst, has taken part in her first
session and will meet up with the rest of the team in Swanley on
Saturday.
There were a few anxious moments while she waited to find out
whether she’d been selected, as mum Claire explained.
She said: "I heard about a girl who’d surprisingly missed out
and it made me wonder.
"We were fearing the worst a bit, especially as Chloe’s letter
didn’t arrive until three days later."
Chloe has just reduced her handicap from five to four, which is
no mean feat at this time of year.
Claire added: "It gets tougher in the winter and your handicap
tends to flatline, but she’s been practising every day."
