CAPTAIN’S WELCOME
Roseanne Rees
Captain 2024
A very warm welcome to all Lady Captains & Secretaries both past and present, to our website, Sussex Lady Golf Captains. My name is Roseanne Rees and I am honoured to be the Association’s Captain for 2024.
SLC&SGA was formed in 1962 by Miss Joy Graham of Royal Ashdown Forest GC for FUN! Additional founder members were Miss Margaret Ackford from Bognor Regis, Mrs Jackson from Cooden Beach and Mrs Leonie Law from Goodwood. Joy Graham was Captain until her death in 1982. In May 1964 membership stood at 132 and currently stands at 385. The first match against another County was played at Liphook in 1963 v. Hampshire since when matches have been extended to include Berkshire, Kent and Surrey.
Membership is open to any lady who has been a Captain or Secretary of a Golf Club and is currently a member of a Sussex Golf Club, we hope that existing members will encourage other past Lady Captains or Secretaries in their Club to join the Association.
We have our usual friendly but competitive programme of meetings and matches against nearby Counties and any member with a handicap high or low can participate. Please see Events & Entry Forms page for details, together with results.
I look forward to meeting many members during the course of the year and wish you all a very successful and enjoyable golfing year.

Autumn meeting 2nd October 2023
Our Autumn meeting this year was held at Copthorne Golf Club. We had a very large field teeing off from the 1st and 10th tees and were delighted to see that Sussex Past Captains who are members of Copthorne acted as starters and ball spotters which was a great help in speeding up the game.
