Heath aiming for success on world stage with England Golf women’s squad
HUDDERSFIELD GOLF Club and former Halifax West End Golf Club member Charlotte Heath has been picked for England Golf women’s squad ahead of an exciting year of action on the home, European and world stages.
Heath is joined by Rosie Belsham, Annabell Fuller, Caley McGinty, Mimi Rhodes and Amelia Williamson as they proudly fly the flag for England in 2022.
All six golfers were involved as either playing members or reserves in the squads which struck gold at last summer’s European
Ladies’ Team Championships at Royal County Down in Northern Ireland and then retained the Home Internationals at Woodhall Spa.
In addition, Fuller, Heath and McGinty all featured for GB&I in the Curtis Cup clash with the United States of America, staged at Conwy Golf Club last August.
Every squad member is a product of the England Golf player pathway and latterly the college system in America where they have enjoyed both team and individual success.
This year England will look to retain their Home International crown at Ballyliffin in Ireland and also the European title when they defend at Conwy in Wales.
The squad will then head to France for the World Championships where they will set their sights on becoming the first English team to lift the Espirito Santo Trophy in the 29th staging of the event.
Jennifer Henderson, assistant performance manager for women’s golf, said: “With an exciting year of golf ahead, these players remain committed, ambitious, and determined in the pursuit of excellence.” She added: “After a challenging few years because of the pandemic, 2022 promises to provide ever greater coaching and competitive opportunities.
“These players will not only be focusing on developing their skills in the quest for individual success in terms of titles and representative selections, but a great squad dynamic will also help towards achieving our shared goal of defending the European Ladies’ Team Championship and contending for a medal at the World Championship in August.”
