Check your rulebook and if it's not allowed change the rule.

Our Club Captain is also the Men's Captain.
Last year, for the first time since we were founded in 1906 we had a female Club Captain.....and very successful she was too..

Nairn Has a lady club captain for the next 2 years, the club did away with mens and ladies sections captains a few years ago.

What would happen if a man wanted to be the ladies captain?

Could a junior be the seniors captain?
Is the captain of a club just the captain of the men’s section, do clubs even have such thing as men’s section?

It's your club, they're your rules. What do they say?

We have a mens/ladies/juniors/seniors section.
Ina ll my time there the Club captain has been the men's captain, but I see no reason the club captain could not be the ladies captain. I dont know if the rules allow for it though

We have a club captain and a ladies captain. Some years we do not have a male captain. But we always have two captains.

many years ago our Ladies section were struggling to find a Captain.
I put myself forward.
Within 24 hrs they had at least 3 volunteers from within their own ranks.

We are similar to some who have already posted, Club Captain and Ladies Captain (and Senior and Junior). Not sure what the rules say but has always been this way

We don't have captain's of sections, we do have a Captain and a Lady Captain (who is most definitely not the Ladies captain)
I would have thought 99% of clubs have a mens section, ladies section, then throw in seniors and junior sections. 4 sections under the umbrella of the club.
I don't think I've come across a club that doesn't have gender and age sections. Are you saying that your club has none of these things?
In answer to the main question, I'm with @SteveW86 in post 2.

Just get the best candidate in for the job and do away with all the mens and ladies section nonsense.

Why is it nonsense to have different sections within a club?

Because it leads to people wondering whether it's acceptable to have a female captain at a golf club.. In the year Two Thousand and Twenty Four...
