A Brief History

Nottinghamshire County Ladies Golf Association was formed at a meeting held on December 5^th 1908.  The main reason for this formation was to produce a County Team.  By 1913 the County consisted of 9 Clubs,  Notts Ladies, Bulwell Forest, Newark, Radcliffe, Stanton, Bulwell Hall, Rushcliffe Sherwood Forest, and Chilwell.  By 1959 the number had risen to 15, by 1994 to 24 and  at the present time there are 29 Affiliated Clubs.

Since the formation of the County we have had 14 Presidents and 5 Secretaries!  The longest serving Presidents were Mrs John Player and the Duchess of Portland who both served consecutively for 21 years. (This position is now held for a maximum of 5 years). The longest serving Secretary/Treasurer was Miss J A Bright from 1912-1950, followed by Mrs J H Payne from 1951-1986.

The County presently run the County Championship and 4 further competitions during the summer.  We also have Inter-Club matches and Inter League matches, and up until 2007 County Matches against Northamptonshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire.  In 2008 with the formation of EWGA, our region changed to become the Midlands North consisting of Notts, Derbyshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Shropshire & Staffordshire. Our County Week changed to 5 days of competition with the winners going forward to the EWGA County Finals.
