TWO of Guernsey golf’s brightest young stars have been learning from a former Ryder Cup player.

IT WAS another year to rewrite the record books for Aimee Ponte.

DESTINED to become the island’s best ever women’s golfer, Aimee Ponte has made history as Guernsey’s first golfer-of-the-year.

AIMEE PONTE leads both the scratch and the handicap competitions after the first of two rounds in the Royal Guernsey GC Ladies’ Section club championship.

NORTHERN Ireland has Rory McIlroy to shout about – Guernsey has Aimee Ponte.

THE excitement of seeing Aimee Ponte, all 15 years and a few days’ old, land her second island women’s golf championship in such spectacular style, was touched with a degree of sadness.

Although just 15, Aimee Ponte (pictured) eased to a comfortable 11 and 10 win over second seed Di Aitchison in yesterday’s one-sided Intertrust Island Women’s Championship final at L’Ancresse.

A RESILIENT Di Aitchison came through a real see-saw battle yesterday to earn her place in the Intertrust Island Women’s Championship final.

TOP seed Aimee Ponte stormed into the quarter-finals of the Intertrust Island Women’s Championships with a crushing 8 and 7 win over Jacqueline Eggo.

AIMEE PONTE pushed home favourite Becky Scott virtually all the way before losing 2 and 1 in the semi-finals of the Hampshire Women’s Championships.
