 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.
