Her dad and brother persuaded her to start playing golf at the
age of 10 - which she did, left-handed! Switched to right-handed
style at 12 and played competitively since 13-14 years.
She won the French U-16 girls' open match play title and was
Kent county champion in 2000 and 2002. Danielle was England
Under-21 and U23 stroke-play champion in 2002. In 2003, she
reached the semi-finals of the English women's amateur championship.
Won the Welsh open amateur stroke-play championship at Ashburnham
with an aggregate of 216 - two shots ahead of Anna Highgate
- in early May.
Danielle was leading qualifier for the match-play stages of
the 2003 British women's open amateur championship before losing
in the third round.
Made the breakthrough on the international scene in 2003, representing
England in the European team championship at Frankfurt and the
women's home internationals.
Played for GB&I in the Vagliano Trophy match at County
Louth last August and, in the last singles tie, Danielle go
the trophy-clinching half-point. No wonder she rates it her
most memorable golfing experience.
Golfing Superstitions: Likes to kiss the golf ball and make
sign of the Cross before teeing off.
When not golfing, Danielle is a driver for Porsche Lindbrook
and is also a private chauffeur.
Loves socialising, clubbing, music, having fun and playing
on the computer. Hip hop, dance and chart music are her favourites. |
