Thank you so much @europeantour for inviting me to @golfsixes this weekend. Had so much fun and hopefully us girls made a statement and put women’s golf on the map. As always love playing with @carlotagolf and thanks to @breanneloucks @jamielongman23 @bowesali for being amazing

️”I’d definitely like to see more mixed tournaments because I think it shows how good the women are. In this day & age when equality is key, I think if you put women up against the men it will show how competitive they are.” pic.twitter.com/IL9upOBqI0

Thanks to @EuropeanTour for allowing me to be part of GolfSixes. Haven’t had that much fun on a golf course for a long time. Brilliant to get the women involved. Pleasure also to partner @mattsjwallace… Easy game from where he drives it . Great to see so many kids too.

If @GolfSixes doesn’t ignite some interest in the @LETgolf I don’t know what will! Hoping the fantastic golf played by all the ladies in the event translates into some new events in Europe! Great work @melreidgolf @georgiahall96 @HullCharley @carlotagolf @Beany25
