ENGLAND Golf confirmed earlier this week the players selected for the 2022 women’s squad ahead of exciting challenges at home, in Europe and on the world stage.

Mimi Rhodes, who plays out of Burnham and Berrow Golf Club has been selected in the squad on the back of her maiden collegiate title in America.

She joins Rosie Belsham, Annabell Fuller, Charlotte Heath, Caley McGinty, and Amelia Williamson in the squad.

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.

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.

his 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 aiming to become the first English team to lift the Espirito Santo Trophy in this 29th staging of the event.

Jennifer Henderson, assistant performance manager for women’s golf, said: “I think I speak for the entire coaching team when I say it is a privilege to have the opportunity to work with this exceptionally talented group of players this year.

“With an exciting year of golf ahead, these players remain committed, ambitious, and determined in the pursuit of excellence.

“Having not been held for four years, the Espirito Santo World Championship is the pinnacle of team golf for England where we get to compete against the very best players from around the globe.

“Whilst elite female amateur golf continues to become ever more competitive, this group of players will have every opportunity to add to their already successful amateur careers in 2022 – we can’t wait to see how they get on!”
