junior women golfers are
making their mark on Delaware courses and raising eyebrows on the national level. All were once little girls tagging along with their parents or siblings at local golf courses, plastic clubs in tow. Now they’re accomplished high school athletes with
coaches doing the “Delaware Dash” to their doors.

Phoebe Brinker
This Archmere Academy junior
won the 2017 Delaware Women’s Amateur and became the first girl to
Championship in 2016, and repeated history again in 2018, in an event that features a combined field of boys and girls.
Brinker also qualified for the U.S. Girl’s Junior this past year and won an AJGA event. She has committed to play golf for Duke University.
