Our Eva is English Schools' National Champion!
Superb, sensational, fabulous, marvellous….
… brilliant, incredible, absolutely-blinking-amazing!
We’re off the charts bursting with pride after our own Eva Myers became England Schools' Champion Golfer 2024.
15-year-old Eva won the coveted title by a massive five shots after carding rounds of 72 and 69 for a three under par total.
And to further write her name in the history books, Eva’s afternoon score broke host venue Stanmore Golf Club ladies’ course record!
She will now go on to represent England Schools against Wales Schools at Stoke Rochford in September.
We’re super proud of you Eva.Air Ambulance charity boost
