SCOTLAND’S Elaine Farquharson-Black will captain Great Britain and Ireland in the Curtis Cup for the second time when the biennial encounter against the United States is played in New York in 2018.
Farquharson-Black led GB&I to a three-point win at Dun Laoghaire last year and will be looking to retain the trophy at Quaker Ridge from June 8-10.
“I am very proud to have been selected to captain Great Britain and Ireland again and I am looking forward to the challenge of retaining the trophy after our memorable win at Dun Laoghaire last year,” Farquharson-Black said.
“We will be working with a very talented group of golfers over the coming months before we select a team of eight players for what promises to be a thrilling match.”
The Curtis Cup is a biennial match between amateur golfers from Great Britain and Ireland and the United States.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
