Wright won the
Girls Amateur Championship in 1950 beating
Ann Phillips 5&4 in the final. She was a finalist again in 1951, losing to Jane Redgate at the 19th hole. She played in the
England–Scotland girls match each year from 1950 to 1953. In 1952 she made her senior debut in the
Women's Home Internationals. She won her three matches with Scotland retaining the title. Wright was part of the British juniors team that played in the Commonwealth tournament at
Formby in early July 1953. The other teams were Britain, Canada and New Zealand. Wright was one of the last two women selected for the 1954
Curtis Cup team at
Merion Golf Club. The Americans won by 6 matches to 3. Wright lost her foursomes match but beat
Joyce Ziske in the singles. The team had earlier won a match against a Canadian team, Wright halving her singles match and winning in the foursomes. Wright was selected as part of a British women's team that toured Australia and New Zealand in the second half of 1955. Because many of the senior players were unavailable, the team turned into a team of five juniors, aged between 18 and 21. The tour was such a success that the team was awarded the Association of Golf Writers trophy, the first time a team had won the award. Earlier in 1955 she reached the semi-finals of the
British Ladies Amateur, losing narrowly to
Barbara Romack. At the end of March 1956, Wright was again selected for the Curtis Cup team. Britain won the match 5–4, their second win in the event, although Wright lost both her foursomes and singles matches. Playing with
Angela Bonallack, Wright was a joint-winner of the 1958
Kayser Bondor Foursomes. She also reached the final of the
Scottish Women's Amateur Championship for the first time, losing by one hole to
Dorothea Sommerville in the 36-hole final. In May she was one of the first four players selected for the 1958
Curtis Cup team. The match in August was tied, with Britain retaining the cup as the previous holders. Wright won both her matches. In 1959 she won the Scottish Women's Amateur Championship for the first time, beating
Belle McCorkindale 6&5 in the final. Playing with future husband Innes Wright, they won the
Worplesdon Mixed Foursomes in October 1959. Wright was selected for the 1960
Curtis Cup team, her final appearance in the contest. The United States regained the cup with Wright losing both her matches, although she took
Anne Quast to the 36th hole in the singles. Wright retained the
Scottish Women's Amateur Championship later in 1960, beating
Dorothea Sommerville in the final. In early 1961, playing with
Jessie Valentine, she won the
Kayser Bondor Foursomes by four strokes. She also won the
Scottish Women's Amateur Championship for the third successive year, on the
Old Course at St Andrews. In 1970 she reached the semi-finals of the
British Ladies Amateur for the second time, losing to
Dinah Oxley. In 1973 she won the Scottish Amateur for the fourth time, again on the Old Course. That win saw her return to the Scottish team in the
1973 European Ladies' Team Championship and in the
Women's Home Internationals, for the final time. ==Personal life==
