WELSH GOLFING UNION:
CHANGES TO NATIONAL ELITE SQUAD

The Welsh Golfing Union have made more changes to their National Elite Squad in the final preparations for the 2000 Home Internationals.  Two players have been added to the squad since their return from college in America.  Both Alex Smith (Pyle & Kenfig) and Stuart Manley (Mountain Ash) have impressed on their return from the States especially in helping Wales claim the bronze medal at the European Youth Team Championship at Kilmarnock, Scotland.

For Smith it is a welcome return to the squad after representing Wales at the 1998 Home Internationals at Royal Porthcawl where he won four points out of a possible five.  Manley comes into the squad for the first time having progressed during the winter whilst at college in Florida and made a huge impression with his maturity at the European Youths Team Championship.

Steve Williams from Clay’s Farm has been removed from the squad.

Richard Brookman   -     Creigiau
