She also added how her early support for Newcastle and Northumberland Ladies Golf Association played a decisive role in her trip.
She said: “Encourageing children from an early age to take the game is really obvious.
“Golf gives you so much life skills.”
Jess played more a role of ambassador on Tour, recognizing the value it can add to the region which has always supported its ambition.
Thanks to Close House, she has a base near her home which establishes the norm for golf on Tyneside.
She said: “It was a big boost to have a house near on board.”
“The installations are unequaled and having access to these installations is an essential part of my work.”
Finally, she expressed her goal of being more involved in junior clinics and ladies when her season slows down towards the end of the year, in order to encourage more women and girls in golf.
