Victorian Golf League

The Victorian Golf League, based in Melbourne, is a sports club that represents golf clubs on public golf courses in Metropolitan Melbourne. It was formed on February 29, 2012 as an amalgamation of the Victorian Golf League and Victorian Women's Golf League. The club provides a platform for golf enthusiasts to participate in events, competitions, and tournaments, as well as access important information and resources.

The club is governed by a board, with Peter Frost as the President, Sheryn McInerney as the Vice President, Tim Edward as the Treasurer, and other dedicated members serving as board members. The board members bring a wealth of experience and knowledge to the club, with backgrounds in various golf clubs in the region.

In addition to the board, the club has separate committees for men's and women's golf. These committees are responsible for organising and managing golf events specific to their respective groups. Members of these committees, such as Laurine Symington, Laraine Lierse, Cathy Hurst, and Pam Stephenson, contribute to the successful organisation and execution of the club's golf activities.

The Victorian Golf League values its rich history, which can be traced back to the early 1930s. The formation of the club was primarily driven by the efforts of Saxon William Sidderley and James Wilson, both members of the Elsternwick Park Golf Club. They recognised the need for properly conducted competitions and official recognition for public course players.

Today, the Victorian Golf League continues to promote the sport of golf and provide opportunities for its members to engage in friendly competition and improve their skills. The club organises various events, including the popular Pennant competition, where teams from different clubs compete against each other. The club also offers resources and documents related to golf, such as forms and important information for its members.

The Victorian Golf League is proud to be a leading organisation representing golf clubs on public courses in Melbourne and looks forward to welcoming new members and facilitating their golfing journey.
