Signature of the month
Some of golf’s most compelling figures are not featured in “The Major Quest”. Some of them have never actually won a major. And they don’t need a major trophy to be considered a legend of the game. They built their legacies on longevity, consistency, grit, and moments that fans still talk about today.
The Signature of the Month shines a light on players who deserve recognition for their achievements and contribution to the game. We are highlighting the well-established names as well as the rising stars. Here, I share the stories behind my encounters with these players, explore their place in golf’s history or future, and describe what it was like to add their signature to the collection.
Georgia Hall announced herself on the biggest stage in 2018 when she won the Women’s Open at Lytham. She had already enjoyed an impressive amateur career, winning the English Women’s Amateur Championship and representing Great Britain and Ireland in the Curtis Cup before turning professional in 2014. Since that major breakthrough, she has added wins on both the LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour and has become a regular in the European Solheim Cup team.
Staying with the 2023 Honda LPGA series in Thailand, I got Georgia’s signature rather by accident. Rather by luck, I found myself walking next to he when she was walking away from the scoring office on her way to the putting green for some after-round. I asked if she would sign my cap and she kindly stopped and did so. Nothing planned at all, but a nice signature to collect, especially from a major champion.
June 2026 – Georgia Hall
