On a recent photoshoot at American Golf at High Legh Park, I was lucky enough to meet Mia Bailey and her big brother Charlie. Mia had just finished her very first lesson and couldn't stop chattering about what a brilliant time she had had. Proud big brother Charlie (aged 8) stood by eager to show his little sister how to hold the club.

The story got even better when I met Mia's mum and Grandmother (both golfers), who had come along to show their support. It was so fantastic to see golf being handed down through generations of female golfers each encouraging the next to give it a go.

This is exactly what the game needs and I hope that in 10 years time we see Mia emerging as the next Charlie Hull.
