Huge congratulations to Emma Brown (Malton & Norton) who was runner-up at the Women's Senior Amateur Championships at Frilford Heath. Four rounds of golf in temperatures over 30 degrees was a huge test for all the competitors and really puts this achievement of 3 over par into perspective.
Also deserving of congratulations are Ruth Skaife-Clarke (Pannal) and Karen Jobling (Richmond) who made the cut and also survived the 4 round test.
Congratulations to Karen Jobling, Lynn Wass and Ruth Skaife-Clarke who have been seleced to represent the North at the Jamboree from August 4th - 6th at Worthing Golf Club.
We wish Northern Captain, Julie Wheeldon and her team all the very best as they compete to reclaim the Stirling Miller Trophy.

Emma Brown was the winner of the English Senior Women’s Order of Merit, thanks to a 3rd-place finish at The R&A Women’s Senior Amateur Championship.
Emma, 54, was pipped in the semi-finals of the English Senior Women’s Amateur, in what was another impressive year for the Yorkshire golfer.
She said: “I was delighted to win the Order of Merit this year. I only played two of the events but did okay in the English Senior Women’s Amateur Championship at the Nottinghamshire and then finished 3rd in the British Senior Amateur at Walton Heath which took me to the top of the OOM!
“I’ve struggled at the end of the season with a knee injury and very disappointingly had to miss the England team events. I’m certainly now looking forward to getting back out enjoying my golf in 2026.”
Congratulations Emma!!
