The Girls U16 Amateur Championship is a golf tournament for girls under 16 which is held annually in the United Kingdom. The competition is organised and run by The R&A.[1]

History

[edit]

In 2018 the tournament replaced the Ladies' British Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship which was discontinued by The R&A in 2017 following the Ladies' Golf Union merger. It had been played since 1969.[2]

The inaugural championship took place at Fulford Golf Club near York in 2018, the venue that also hosted the inaugural Women's British Open in 1976.

Format

[edit]

The championship consists of 54 holes of stroke play, played over three days with no cut, contested by a field of 90 players. Entry is open to female golfers who are under 16 years of age on 1 January in the year of the championship.[3]
