Julia Green has been judged to be the 'Most Improved GC Female Player' by the National Handicap Committee on behalf of Croquet England.
This truly is a high accolade and many congratulations to Julia, who won three D-Level Series tournaments in 2025 on the way to becoming National D-Level Champion.
She improved her handicap from 11 to 7 and her international ranking by +241 points, which is the highest tally of any female player in the world this year!
