The 2024 Season
After a somewhat weaker 2023 season, Flory will only be able to play about 12-15 tournaments on the LET in 2024 and has made a virtue out of necessity. For optimal training conditions and match practice, the 34-year-old made her way to South Africa after visiting the Hanse Golf trade fair in Hamburg.
Via Johannesburg, she traveled to Lost City Golf Club, where after just a few training sessions, the first tournament of the South African Sunshine Ladies Tour was scheduled.
The First Tournament
The climate change from the cold and wet Hamburg to the very warm Sun City, a spectacularly difficult course with 28,000 square meters of water features (including crocodiles) and some rust in her swing, prevented entry into the final round. With rounds of 80 and 75 strokes, Flory missed the cut by four strokes. The winner after three rounds was India's Tvesa Malik with rounds of 71, 65, and 71 strokes.
"Not everything is running smoothly in my swing yet, but it's getting better with every training session."— Florentyna Parker
Upcoming Tournaments
From March 6-8, the Sunshine Ladies Tour Invitational at Blue Valley Golf Estate is scheduled, followed by the Cape Town Ladies Open from March 13-15. We will report on this here. Good luck, Flory!
