FORE! Ladies Nations impressions …

Inspired in Amsterdam

At first, there were mixed feelings about the first edition of the ‘Ladies Nations Invitational’ which was held at The International Golf Course, Holland in May 2016. However, no matter what the future holds for the ING Private Banking Golf Week, it’s inspiring to reflect on the new-style tournament for teams-of-three from the Ladies European Tour. We’ve gathered here some of our favourite images from the hundreds of photographs taken by ‘Golfing Inspirations’ during the inaugural event in Amsterdam. Enjoy!
