About The Association

We are an “umbrella” organization that exists to:

  • Promote & foster golf and golf tournaments
  • To offer assistance and advice to clubs organizing tournaments as required
  • Minimise potential timing clashes of those tournaments
  • Allocate and coordinate National and International golf tournaments

Our Tournaments are open to all Men and Women over the age of 50, who are financial members of an affiliated golf club and a member of a Seniors/Veteran Golfers’ Society/Club. 

Tournaments can be men only, men & women and mixed.

Tournaments can be for 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 days duration.

Locations cover at least 44 courses with multi day events. Local districts also hold one day matches for which every registered senior golfer is welcome for a nominal fee.
