Introduction
The Suffolk Ladies’ County Golf Association was formerly ‘The Suffolk Ladies
County Golf Club’ and was formed in 1926 by six Clubs, Aldeburgh, Bungay,
Felixstowe, Ipswich, Royal Worlington and Woodbridge. In the first year there
were ninety members paying a subscription of Seven shillings and Sixpence (7/6d)
each.
In 1965 the name was changed from “Club” to “Association”.
From 1993 all lady members of affiliated Suffolk clubs
automatically became members – the affiliation fee coming directly from their
clubs. In 2005 we have 1,982 members from 29 clubs.
Suffolk Ladies County Golf Association (SLCGA) is affiliated to the Ladies'
Golf Union (LGU) and the English Ladies' Golf Association (ELGA).
We are proud to boast many illustrious members, past and
present.
Penny Taylor of Royal Worlington was Chairman of the LGU in
1984/5.
Liz Boatman, also Royal Worlington, was Chairman of ELGA in 1989 and President
of ELGA in 2000/1. She has also been Captain of two victorious Curtis Cup
teams.
Anne Smith nee Willard, formerly of Gorleston, is our current Midlands Division
Chairman. In her golfing career she won the British and English Girls
Championships and the British Strokeplay, as well as the Suffolk Championships.
More recently, Julie Otto nee Wade, and Joanne Woodward nee Hockley, both of
Felixstowe Ferry won many British, English and Suffolk titles. Julie also
played in several Curtis Cup teams and won the 1992 Spanish Open.
We now look forward to more success with some of our promising Juniors.
