There has been no better proving ground for young golfers in this country than the Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship. Conducted since 1955, when the first Junior Girls Championship was played at the Royal Colwood Golf & Country Club in Victoria British Columbia, the Junior has given Canadians a glimpse into the future glory that many of its champions have gone on to enjoy. With over 50 years of history and the Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls' Championship continues to produce top calibre players who contend years later for amateur and professional titles. Top Canadian golfers like Sandra Post, Marilyn Palmer (O'Connor), Gayle Hitchins (Borthwick) and Alena Sharpe all saw early success at the Royale Cup Canadian Junior Girls Championship.

Heather Kuzmich remains the top name in the Canadian Junior Girls' Championship record books by boasting four consecutive championship wins from 1981 to 1984. Kuzmich, Lisa Meldrum and legendary Mabel Thompson are the only three women to ever accomplish a 'four-peat' in Canadian Women's amateur golf history. (Mabel Thompson earned four amateur titles while Meldrum won a single junior and three amateur titles).
