  • Women in golf awards: full list of winners

The inspiring achievements of women working in the golf industry were showcased at a glittering ceremony at Foxhills.

The R&A’s Jackie Davidson was among those honoured at the Women in Golf Awards, which have been held since 2022 and celebrate the significant contribution made by women past and present.

Aimi Bullock became the first double winner of an award, recognised in both the Rising Star and Unsung Hero categories for her work with golf and disability, while Davidson, pictured below, was recognised for the Women in Golf Charter and Women in Golf Leadership Development Programme.

Awards founder Nicole Wheatley said: “Year on year, we uncover stories about women who are shaping the future of the industry. The competition this year was incredibly fierce; any one of the finalists would have been a worthy winner.

“And while a celebration of today’s brightest stars is vital to the progression of women in the industry, it’s equally important that we recognise the women who came before us.

“They have paved the way for women to access careers in every part of the sport, which is why the special recognition awards are so significant.”

A former club captain, he has passed the Level 3 Rules of Golf exam with distinction having attended the R&A’s prestigious Tournament Administrators and Referees Seminar.

Steve has officiated at a host of high-profile tournaments, including Open Regional Qualifying, PGA Fourball Championship, English Men’s Senior Amateur, and the North of England Amateur Championship. In 2023, he made his international debut as part of the team that refereed England vs Switzerland U16 girls.

A part of NCG’s Top 100s panel, Steve has a particular love of links golf and is frantically trying to restore his single-figure handicap. He’d like to tell you he floats around 10. The reality is more like 13.

Steve plays at Sandburn Hall, in York, and is a country member at Close House in Newcastle. He has served on various club committees during his time in the game, and is the current Rules Secretary at Sandburn.

Having studied history at Newcastle University, he became a journalist having passed his NCTJ exams at Darlington College of Technology.
