The Julia Greenhalgh Salver
In the Ladies section, in terms of golfing achievement, there is one outstanding name - Julia Greenhalgh, the daughter of Charles and Mildred Greenhalgh and niece of Eileen Shutt. Her record of successes spans over 20 years, commencing in 1960, when she became British Youth Champion. In 1961, the year her mother was Lancashire Ladies Captain, she won the Lancashire Championship for the first time, became the L.G.A. Northern champion and was selected to play for England.
Her record reads:"She won the Open Amateur Stroke Play in the 1970s twice running, in 1974 and 1975. She also won the English in 1966 and 1979 and the Welsh Stroke Play in 1977. She won the Astor Salver in 1969 and 1979, the Hampshire Rose in 1977, was Lancashire champion in 1961, 1962, 1966, 1968, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1977 and 1978, and Northern champion in 1961 and 1962. In 1963 she won the New Zealand championship. She was a girl international in 1957,1958 and 1959, and won the Scottish Girls' Open in 1960. She played in the Curtis Cup in 1964,1970, 1974, 1976 and 1978, the Vagliano in 1961, 1965, 1975 and 1977, and in the Commonwealth in 1963 and 1975. She played in the Espirito in 1970 and 1974, both as captain, and in 1978. She played in the European in 1971,1975,1977 and 1979, and in the home internationals regularly between 1960 and 1978. She was designated Daks Woman Golfer of the year in 1974."
She was Lady Captain of the Club in 1964 and in 1966 her tremendous record of success by that time was marked by a special presentation from the Club and her election as a life member. In 1974 to recognise her further achievements, the Club presented a silver salver on which all her successes are inscribed, which is the Julia Greenhalgh Trophy, played for annually by the ladies and having "Board" status.
The Salver is awarded to the lady returning the lowest 7 card nett aggregate (calculated as the aggregate of nett differentials between the CSS applicable and the nett score returned) in the following events: -
April - September LGU medals inclusive, Spring Meeting, Founders', Charity, Scratch Medal (1st Round), Eileen Shutt Rose Bowl and the Autumn Meeting. Ladies will play off their handicap on the day of the respective events.
The Prize is given by the Men's Section. Runner up Salver, donated by Mr J Caton MBE, will be held for 12 months.
