Michaela Chivers

Michaela Chivers is one of Sarah’s pupils, who must be congratulated on a wonderful season so far. She won the Somerset County Championship in May, qualifying over 36 holes and then winning 5 matches to take the coveted trophy (shown above), quickly followed by a reduction in her handicap from 5 to 2.6 and then going on to win the best net prize at the English Girls Championship in Skegness. Michaela came an overall 9th out of 140 U18 girls with gross scores over 4 rounds of 78,78,76,72. This has been a very successful season for Michaela and has been just reward for all her hard work.
