Golf is open to all
The 54-hole stroke play championship, first played at Fulford in 2018, was introduced as part of The R&A’s drive to boost the girls’ game in Great Britain and Ireland and beyond, as well as provide a pathway to the elite amateur level for leading young players.
The R&A Girls’ U16 Amateur Championship attracts players from across the world and England’s Rosie Bee Kim, who won the Under-12s section in 2018, took the main title with success at Enville in 2021. Scotland's Grace Crawford secured victory in 2022.Girls' Amateur Championship
For the first time in 2022, the match play stages of the R&A Girls’ and Boys’ Amateur championships were played simultaneously at one venue at Carnoustie. In 2023, Yorkshire venues Ganton and Fulford will stage the championships.
Ganton has hosted the Ryder, Walker and Curtis Cups in its illustrious history, while Fulford has staged in recent years the R&A Girls’ U16 Amateur Championship and the Girls’ Amateur Championship.
