Staffordshire Veteran Ladies Golf Association  - SVLGA

The Staffordshire Veteran Ladies Golf Association originated in 1954.  The association welcomes everyone who wishes to become a member of the SVLGA.

The SVLGA Committee is made up of officials from all different clubs, who undertake their roles in a voluntary capacity, ensuring the smooth running of the association. Job descriptions for the various roles can be found in the Vets Roles tab.

Each club in Staffordshire has their own Vets delegate who represents their club members, attending an annual delegates meeting (in February) and the AGM (in November), keeping their members updated with details of events, matches and  changes within the association.

Current Members

Current members may become Associate (non-playing) members of the association at any time, paying a reduced fee.

It is suggested that any playing member who may need to take some time out of golf, eg. medical reasons, becomes an associate member to hold their place in the association, otherwise they would need to fulfil the criteria above, to re-join, in the event of any break in the period of membership.

NOTE to delegates and members                                                                                                                                                         If any member is a member of 2 clubs, in separate counties, they must choose at the start of the season which association they intend to represent for matches.

This should be indicated on the new starter/renewal form each year in the field “Available for Matches” It is expected that if the field is ticked on the Staffordshire form that the individual will not compete in matches for any other county, in that season. However, these members are eligible to compete in the Vets competitions, even if they opt to play their matches for their other county.
