The Australian Girls' Amateur is the national junior golf championship of Australia for girls. It was first played in 1953. It is run by Golf Australia.
History edit
From 1953 to 1983 the event was for "juniors" (under-21) and was played in conjunction with the stroke-play qualifying stage of the Australian Women's Amateur. From 1953 to 1973 and from 1978 to 1983 qualification was over 36-holes but from 1974 to 1977 it was over 72 holes. However in 1974 the junior event was still decided by the scores over the first 36 holes, while in 1975 and 1976 the junior event was decided over the first 54 holes. From 1984 it became a separate event. From 1984 to 1999 it was played as a match-play event with a 36-hole final. In 1993 the age limit was reduced from 21 to 18. In 2000 it became a 54-hole stroke-play event, before being extended to 72 holes in 2012.[1]
