CHANGE OF ASSOCIATION NAME
75 years ago, the
Scottish Veterans Ladies Golf Association was founded in 1950 by Miss Charlotte
Lyon, an Honorary Life President of Aberdeen Ladies, and has continued to
thrive ever since.
In 2023 the English
VLGA wanted to change the name from Veteran Ladies to Senior Women because they
felt Veterans gave the wrong impression on how they were perceived in the
golfing community in today’s modern world.
Following VLGA’s
decision, the SVLGA discussed a change of name from Scottish Veterans Ladies
Golf Association to Scottish Senior Women’s Golf Association, at the Annual
General Meeting in September 2024 where a vote taken was in favour of the
change.
The Association
will now be known as SSWGA and our division will be known as
SSWGA.Midlands. The other 7 divisions
will adopt a similar format.
Although we are
a bit behind the other divisions in making the change, over the coming weeks
you will begin to see the name changed on the Blog and various other pieces of
communication.
The name may
have changed but the friendly welcoming like minded women who make up our
membership will always remain the same.
Happy New Year to one and all. We hope you are gearing up for a busy golfing season
