Ladies' British Open Mid-Amateur

PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY LADIES GOLF UNION
The Council of the Ladies Golf Union has reluctantly decided to cancel the Ladies’ British Open Mid-Amateur Stroke-play championship, due to be played at Bearwood Lakes Golf Club, Berkshire from July 4 to 6.
“We have worked hard to publicise this event since we introduced it in 2002 but entries have been dwindling each year. We had received less than 60 for this year’s championship. We have tried everything to stimulate interest but it is clearly not viable in the busy fixture list.
This year’s tournament has been cancelled and we apologise to Bearwood Lakes Golf Club and the competitors for the inconvenience and disappointment,” said Susan Simpson, the LGU’s Director of Championships
The tournament was first played at The Berkshire Golf Club in 2002 and was for players aged over 25 years. The trophy, donated in memory of the late Angela Uzielli, will now be presented for the lowest score returned by an over-25 player in the Ladies’ British Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship.
The Royal & Ancient Golf Club discontinued the British men’s mid-amateur championship this year. Also for over-25s, it was started in 1995 and was played for the last time in 2007
