EMILY TOY
Whilst at the University of Exeter, Emily went from strength to strength on both the national and international tour. In her words:
“The Sports Scholarship Scheme has allowed me to improve my game, both technically and with coaching, but also physically with the high performance strength and conditioning sessions. I feel that the scheme this far, has allowed me to grow as a golfer and play a broader golfing schedule in which I would not be able to do, without the financial support of the University”. 2018 BUCS English and Welsh Champion 2019 R&A Women’s Amateur Champion 2019 represented England in European Nations Trophy and European Team Championship BSc Exercise and Sport Sciences (2016-2019)
