Started playing golf at the age of 11 after picking up
golf balls for her dad when he practised. Decided to have a
go herself and soon came to the fore nationally as a girl
golfer. She was Golf Foundation Age Group Champion and Duke
of Trophy Trophy winner in 1996 and runner-up in 1994 and
1995. She won Golf Foundation Golfer of the Year Award in
1997, was England schoolgirls champion in 1998 and runner-up
the following year. She captained the England schools team
three years in a row.
Fame made her debut for the England
women's team in 2000, played in the Curtis Cup match of 2002
and the Vagliano Trophy matches of 2003 (won four matches
out of four) and 2003. She was Liphook Scratch Trophy winner
in 2002, the same year she was runner-up in the South
African women's amateur championship. Fame was also second
in the Welsh open stroke-play championship of 2001. Lowest
score has been five under-par: a 67 at Roehampton and a 68
at Chesterfield. |
