The 22 year-old PGA professional has just taken up a job at the Taba Heights Golf Club in Eygpt, making her the first full-time female professional in the country.
Davies, who recently graduated in Applied Golf Management from Birmingham Universit
y, flew out to take up her post last weekend, but not before being given a good send-off from her clubmates at Peterborough Milton where the two-handicapper is current ladies champion.
She said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to have got the job and am very excited about moving out to Egypt – it will be a wonderful experience for me.
"Having graduated I am now fully qualified and I hope to be able to make a real difference on the coaching team at Taba Heights.
"It is an absolutely amazing golf course and of course the weather is a little bit better out there so I should be able to play even more golf without getting wet.
"I will of course miss all the guys at Milton but this was an opportunity far too good for me to miss and it will really help me develop my career in the game."
Davies was presented with a number of gifts by members of the ladies section before a special 18-hole match was played in her honour.
FORMER Thorpe Wood captain Andy Latter has just laid his hands on the National Club Captain's Knockout Cup.
Latter, who was a beaten finalist last year, made up for that disappointment with a cracking performance at the Belfry to take the crown.
Latter can now add the Captain's Cup to the Cambridge Evening News Trophy and puts his excellent form through the winter down to five trips a week to the gym.
TOFT member David Smith picked a great way to celebrate his 81st birthday.
Playing with Phil Miller in the Seniors Knockout, Smith rolled back the years to drive the partnership to a 2 and 1 win over senior captain Graham Hughes and seniors secretary Geoff Parker.
A clearly impressed Hughes said after the round: "I do not think they could have played much better to be honest – they were just too good.
"I think they only had one bad shot the whole round.
"On nearly every hole we needed birdies to win, congratulations to David and Phil."
