Jodie Kidd to develop ladies’ golf

Brocket Hall Golf Club has appointed model Jodie Kidd to develop its ladies’ and girls’ golf sections.

As ‘ambassador’ for the Hertfordshire club’s ladies’ section, Jodie Kidd will promote the club’s female membership, which includes rising England international Gabriella Cowley and professional Tara Dayer-Smith.

Kidd said: “I’ve loved playing golf ever since I first tried it after my father bought me a lesson as a Christmas present as a child, and there are few grander or more beautiful places to play at than Brocket Hall.

“It is a stunning location and the club has everything that a golfer could want with some outstanding facilities. It’s a great honour to have been asked to join the club’s ambassador programme and promote it to a female wider audience.”

David Griffin, club manager at Brocket Hall Golf Club, added: “We are dedicated to the future growth of the women’s game at Brocket Hall and across Hertfordshire, both in increasing participation and in elite development. We are delighted to have Jodie on board to lead this and encourage women to enjoy their golf at Brocket Hall and develop all aspects of their game.”
