Le Grand Prix des Landes a été un succés, le parcours était en très bon état et le golf toujours aussi heureux de recevoir les champions de demain. Cette année le plateau était une nouvelle très relevé avec la présence d'une équipe espagnole et allemande. Valentine fini 14ème avec des scores de 77 - 70 - 69 - 69. Malheureusement son premier tour l'a empéchée de prétendre au titre. Elle est contente de l'évolution de son jeu, il lui manque très peu pour scorer très bas. Cette semaine repos et entrainement, la semaine suivante départ pour les Internationaux de Suisse.
The Grand Prix des Landes was once again a big success, the course was in great shape and the hosts were very happy to host tomorrows champions! This year the field was very strong with the best french players and a spanish and german team as well as players from the University of Arizona, Purdue, Minnesota, Campbell. Valentine finished 14th with scores of 77 - 70 -69 - 69. Unfortunately her first round didn't let her compete for the title. Valentine is happy with the way she is hitting the ball, she is very close from shooting those very low scores. This week no tournaments, Valentine will practice and relax in family, next week she will head to Switzerland for the Internationals.
