Veteran Women Golfers' Association of NSW (VWGA)

President’s Report

Spring has arrived to the normal hot and cold days, longer days, new growth and blossoms emerging.
September has been a busy month with the final Country Tournament held at Queanbeyan in southern NSW with 85 members joining in the fun. A brief report below.

The Metropolitan Championships are to be held at Muirfield on Friday 2 October, so entries have been slowly coming in which has kept the committee busy. The State Foursomes will be held at Bankstown on Tuesday 10 November, open to all VWGA members. There is still time to get your entries in. The final 2026 Metropolitan tournament will be at The Coast in December.

A reminder that the AGM for 2026 will be held on 20 November 2026. An EGM will proceed the AGM to ratify the
updated Constitution which will be available to all delegates to review in the next few days. The preliminary notice of the meeting has been sent to all delegates.

The first 2-day tournament for 2027 is at Shoalhaven Heads on 1 & 2 February 2027, entry form is on the website vwgansw.org.au at the bottom of the 2026 program. The final 2027 tournament program will be available soon.

President’s Report

Cannot believe that winter has passed by with such a lovely day and Spring is now on its way very quickly. The office has been quiet, as it is at this time of year, but we are still receiving new member applications and of course entries for the remaining tournaments. On 31 August we held our tournament at Hurstville in the southern metropolitan region, played on a lovely day. Our next tournament is the final 2 day tournament at Queanbeyan. After a slow start with the entries and an extension of a couple of weeks for registration there are now 85 players. The entries are now closed. 
The next tournament in the metropolitan area is the Metropolitan Championships, which is only open to metropolitan members, to be held at Muirfield on 2 October. Following that tournament the State Foursomes will be held at Bankstown which is open to all members in the state. Bankstown is a very nice course.

Just a reminder that the 2026 AGM is to be held on Friday 20 November. The preliminary notice will be sent out on 18 September. As over the last couple of years we have conducted the meeting using Zoom, so we can include members who are unable to attend in person, so that will be available again. Details will be contained in the information sent out with the information about the meeting. Would love to see you in person or via Zoom.

Until next month enjoy your golf and the warmer weather with the right amount of rain!

 President’s Report

Its mid winter, the days are getting longer again. This time of the year the office is quite quiet but we are still receiving new member applications, changes to members changing clubs as they move around also keeps us busy. At our committee meeting last week Trish reported that we have had more new members this year compared to last year. This is great news so keep up the good work. It will be interesting next year with the introduction of the 9 hole competitions to see if this increases the membership or at least maintains the numbers.

July has been busy with tournaments, starting off with our third two day tournament at Ocean Shores. It was great we could even hold this tournament due to the very wet conditions on the far north coast. Ocean Shores did a great job with modifying the course to suit the conditions. A great tournament enjoyed by 88 players. Next tournament is at Queanbeyan in September.

Windsor held the “Christmas in July” tournament in late July with 116 players enjoying the beautiful sunny day after a very heavy fog lifted. With the last few weeks of fine weather in Sydney the course had plenty of run. Most teams dressed for the occasion. Enjoy the cooler weather and keep enjoying your golf.
