History

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

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]
