The Scottish Veteran Ladies' Golf Association (SVLGA)  had to cancel their team events but it’s never to soon to prepare for 2021. 

Their 2020 squad of players have started winter matches by visiting East Renfrewshire GC, home club of Gillian Kyle. 

West Vet Gillian was joined by other West Vets Donna Jackson and Liz Stewart 

Karen Ballantyne (SVLGA Captain) thanked  Gillian for arranging this and to the club for their hospitality and said."Looking at the scores, our players have been working hard on their games during the past few months."

BLAIRGOWRIE ENTRY FORM IS NOW AVAILABLE

The Entry Form for Blairgowrie is now available on the SVLGA website.   — 

CLICK HERE

West Vets members who are interested in applying are asked to print off a copy of the form and send the completed form along with a cheque for £124 per couple to:

Sandra Macdougall, SVLGA West Division Secretary, 41 Octavia Terrace, Greenock. PA16 7SR. --- CHEQUE MADE PAYABLE TO SVLGA WEST

Please note that a lot of ladies usually give their preferred tee times as between 10 and 12.  It is not possible to fit everyone into those times, so it would be helpful if  ladies could  vary the times chosen – the early times (from 8am) and the later times are particularly difficult to allocate. 

Play will again be in threes on the Monday (Patrick Rosebowl) and ladies will most probably not be playing with their partners.  

On the Tuesday, however, they will play in the Greensomes with their partner, and with a couple from another Division.

The entry fee is £62 per person (comprising £55 green fee (comprising £55 green fee and £7 for admin, prizes.) or £124 per couple.

As there are more applicants than places, the Committee will hold an open ballot on 3rd April after the Spring Meeting - and all applicants will be notified of the result. 
The West Division has currently been allocated 11 places (22 people) - but we may also received some extra places if other Divisions do not use their full allocation. --
