PERTH’S Dewars Centre played host to the annual meeting of the Scottish Ladies Golf Union.

Around 150 attended from the various regions and Shona Malcolm (Ayrshire) was confirmed as chairman for a three-year term of office.

The organisation is based in the Fair City.

The appointment marks an important stage in the SLGA's development which has, in recent years, seen the association assume responsibility for handicapping, course rating and the running in Scotland of the former LGU medals.

Shona said: “I look forward to working with the SLGA at these exciting and challenging times for ladies' golf, and to meeting and consulting with many of the SLGA's members in the coming months and years.”

Association members, by an overwhelming majority, approved an increase in the per capita subscription from £13 to £14, to take effect from January 2010.
