Danielle Masters
Danielle Louise Masters (born 2 March 1983) is an English professional golfer on the Ladies European Tour. She turned pro 1 June 2004. Masters is from Bearsted in Kent, England. Masters has been playing on the European tour since 2004 and enjoyed two full successful seasons playing across the world, mainly in Europe. On her third year after earning well in year 1 and an increased amount in year 2, in mid-2008 at BMW Ladies Italian Open in Argentario Golf Resort & Spa she had to pull out of the event due to a back injury. Due to the severity of the injury she was unable to play again that season. In an attempt to get back playing as soon as possible, Masters saw a number of experts, ranging from sports science injury specialists to chiropractic physicians, none of whom could offer much help.

Curtis Cup
The Curtis Cup is the best known team trophy for women amateur golfers, awarded in the biennial Curtis Cup Match. It is co-organised by the United States Golf Association and The R&A and is contested by teams representing the United States and "Great Britain and Ireland".

Many women who have gone on to become stars of women's professional golf have played in the Curtis Cup. History The first Curtis Cup Match was played in 1932 at the Wentworth Club in England, and was won by the American team. The trophy, a silver bowl of Paul Revere design, was donated by Harriot Curtis (who had won the U.S. Women's Amateur in 1906) and her sister Margaret (who had won it in 1907, 1911, and 1912). In 1905 the Curtis sisters had competed in an informal match bet ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
