to do. The tour is similar to the men’s European Challenge Tour, which has been around much longer and has many more tournaments. The base for this tour is in France. In 2010 there were three tournaments between late March and early June, each tournament consisting of 54 holes.
Two more tournaments were added during the fall. At the end of this series, the top three professionals and the top three amateurs will receive an invitation to the French Open, which takes place in September. The best player also gets a tour ticket for the next season.
Number two and three can go directly to the Final in the Tour School. The Generali Ladies Tour was due to start in March 2010 with the Open at La Nivelle. However, the first lap was canceled due to snow on the track. The second round also turned out to be cancelled, so it was decided to organize the tournament at a later date.
It was June 9-11. The Terre Blanche Ladies Open, also in March, thus became the first tournament on this tour. It was won by 25-year-old Caroline Afonso, it was the first win since she turned pro at the end of 2007. The second tournament was won by 23-year-old Jade Schaeffer, born on the island of Réunion but living in Paris.
Karen Lunn, president of the Ladies European Tour (LET}, played at La Nivelle to show her support. The 2012 tour saw an amateur win for the first time in a tournament: Scottish Curtis Cup player Pamela Pretswell won the Ljungbyhed Park Ladies Open by two strokes before becoming a professional.
2nd, 3rd and 4th place were also occupied by amateurs. Anastasia Kostina was the first Russian to win an LET tournament that year and earned a wildcard into the Deloitte Ladies Open.
