BETH PATERSON NOMINATED AS NEW CHAIRMAN OF SLGA

NEWS RELEASE FROM SCOTTISH LADIES GOLFING ASSOCIATION

Beth Paterson, a member of Eastwood Golf Club, has been nominated as the new Chairman of the Scottish Ladies’ Golfing Association and one of her major tasks during the three year term will be to progress discussions with the Scottish Golf Union on amalgamation of the two governing bodies.

“I am looking forward to taking up the post and I am sure there will be many challenges,” said the single figure handicap golfer who has a wealth of experience in the ladies’ game. 

“Working with the SGU on the amalgamation will be one of the main issues.”      

Paterson’s nomination is set to be ratified at the SLGA’s Annual General Meeting in Perth next month and she will replace Shona Malcolm, who steps down after a very successful four years as Chairman. 

Paterson started her administration career early. At the age of 17 she served on the Committee of her original home club of Brodick, on the Isle of Arran.

Paterson has already served the SLGA as both Chairman of Training and Performance Director.  

Beth was Eastwood Club Captain in 2000 and Renfrewshire County Captain in 2006 and 2007. She has contributed to the girls’ game as both her club’s Junior Girls’ Convener for nine years and County Junior Secretary for a three year term.
