HORSEY AND WOLSTENHOLME OFF TO ARGENTINA - 8th Nov 2005
David Horsey, winner of the English County Champions Tournament, and six-time Walker Cup man Gary Wolstenholme will be England's representatives in the Juan Carlos Tailhade Cup in Argentina next month.
The pair will tackle the annual tournament at its traditional home, the Los Lagartos Country Club in Buenos Aires on 1st - 4th December.
The two players may be at opposite ends of the golfing spectrum as far as age, achievement and experience are concerned but they have the ability to extend England's fine record in the event.
Horsey (pictured), 20, a former North of England Schools Champion, came to national attention when he finished runner-up in last year's English Amateur Championship at Hollinwell. He then represented the EGU in the Greek Amateur and earned a place in the England A training squad.
This year his career has blossomed with victory in the Cheshire Championship followed by his triumph in the County Champions tournament at Woodhall Spa in which he shot 64, breaking the Hotchkin Course record by two strokes. A return trip to the Greek Amateur late in the season capped a great year as this time he returned home with the title.
This fine form has seen him promoted to the EGU Elite Squad for the winter training schedule and for 2006.
Wolstenholme, 45, is the consummate amateur. England's most capped player, he played in his sixth Walker Cup in Chicago in August and has amassed a wealth of experience since making his international debut in 1988 as well as a long list of titles both at home and abroad.
This will be his second appearance in the Juan Carlos Tailhade Cup, following his victory in partnership with Nick Dougherty in 2000.
England also won this 72-hole, two-man team event, in which both players' scores count, in 2001 through Zane Scotland and David Skinns, and in 2003 with Gary Lockerbie and Michael Skelton. Last year, Lee Corfield and Matthew Richardson finished runners-up.
