PRESENTINGAllAM logoWOMEN’S SENIOR AMATEURAustralia’s Nadene Gole, 56, is the busiest senior women’s golfer in the world, and her résumé can attest that she earned the right to be called the best amateur in her class. Ranked 107th in the WAGR, Gole is far and away the highest-ranked senior woman in the world. In fact, 25-year-old Emilia Migliaccio (101st) is the only women’s mid-amateur ranked ahead of Gole. She won six times already in 2024, including the R&A Senior Women’s Amateur, before beating 2022 champion Shelly Stouffer of Canada in only Gole’s second USGA championship. It follows an historic 2023 season when Gole became the first golfer – male or female at any amateur level – to sweep all six of Australia’s available state championships (Tasmania, New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria and Western Australia) as well as the national senior women’s amateurs of Australia and New Zealand.FIRST TEAMFosterJackie FosterBishop’s Stortford, Hertfordshire, EnglandWon: English Senior Women’s AmateurWon: Italian Ladies Senior AmateurRunner-up: R&A Women’s Senior AmateurGoleNadene GoleMelbourne, Victoria, AustraliaWon: U.S. Senior Women’s AmateurWon: New Zealand Senior Women’s AmateurWon: R&A Women’s Senior AmateurJoy-ConnellyTara Joy-ConnellyMiddleborough, MassachusettsWon: AGA Senior Women’s AmateurWon: Jones-Doherty Senior Women’s AmateurWon: New England Women’s Amateur SeniorPortEllen PortSt. Louis, MissouriWon: Ladies National Golf Association Senior AmateurSemifinalist: U.S. Senior Women’s AmateurRunner-up: AGA Senior Women’s AmateurSamuelTerrill SamuelEtobicoke, Ontario, CanadaWon: Canadian Women’s SeniorRunner-up: Irish Senior Women’s Open19th: U.S. Senior Women’s OpenSpotlesonSuzi SpotlesonCanton, OhioWon: North & South Senior Women’sWon: Donna Andrews Invitational SeniorWon: First Coast Senior Women’s AmateurStoufferShelly StoufferNanoose Bay, British Columbia, CanadaWon: Canadian Women’s Mid-AmateurMedalist and runner-up: U.S. Senior Women’s AmateurRound of 64: U.S. Women’s Mid-AmateurTennantLara TennantPortland, OregonWon: Irish Senior Women’s OpenWon: Scottish Senior Women’s OpenRound of 16: U.S. Senior Women’s AmateurVan MolleSylvie Van MolleLevallois-Perret, FranceWon: Belgian International SeniorWon: International Austrian SeniorsRunner-up: Italian Senior International LadiesWoosterSue WoosterChadstone, Victoria, AustraliaWon: New South Wales Mid-AmateurRound of 64: U.S. Senior Women’s AmateurRunner-up: Australia Women’s Senior Amateur
