WELCOME TO BCLGA!

We are delighted that this year we will be celebrating our Centenary year. Since 1923, this Association has been running to promote womens’ and girls golf througout the county of Berkshire.

When it was founded on 23 January 1923 there were 4 clubs and had just 65 members. Today we provide opportunites for 30 clubs and over 2000 women and girl members to play and enjoy golf.

Whether you are new to golf, a low handicap player or somewhere in between, this website will give you everything you need to know about women’s and girl’s golf in Berkshire.

We invite you to visit the different sections of this website to learn more about BCLGA, enter competitions, download start sheets, follow the teams, and generally keep up to date with news and results.

We also invite you to visit the sections run by our associated groups, the County Scratch Leagues, the Berkshire County Ladies Veterans Golf Association (BCLVGA) and the Berkshire Lady Captains Golf Society (BLCGS).

As a County Golf Association we are part of the wider structure linking golfers and clubs to England Golf – the umbrella organisation responsible for men’s and women’s golf at regional and national level in England.

BCLGA and Berkshire Girls Golf (BGG – the junior section of BCLGA) are run by Committees of Volunteers with the aim of promoting golf for women and girls from beginners right through to elite players. The Association organises a Calendar of Events each year: these include competitions for members of Golf Clubs affiliated to BCLGA and matches for 1st Team, 2nd Team, Seniors Team and Juniors Team players.

The highlight of the year is County Week in June, when the 1st teams of the six counties of our Midlands South region (Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire and the ‘joint’ county of Worcester &Hereford battle it out over three days of foursomes and singles matchplay golf, providing a wonderful spectator opportunity for golf fans.
