Scottish Golf In Decline Again

No they are not - all that money goes to the areas. Counties are self-funded from the subs of the women who choose to join them.

Well I suspect that the womans game is funded differently as counties/area are the same in the mens game since the emalgimation and the £2.50 fee is what we pay.
 
We've definitely been talking at cross-purposes then. The women's counties don't get any funding from golf clubs or from Scottish Golf. You're only a member if you choose to join and pay a subscription which is entirely separate from golf club fees.

I definitely need to find out more about this £2.50 fee.... Meanwhile, lets be pals again! :)

Never not been "pals" debate is good.

Men pay £2.50 I believe women pay slightly more? Not sure why that is but I would be surprised if it was a different payment set up to the men. Our £2.50 affiliation fee to the county (area whatever you want to call it) goes towards - errrr pass!
 
No idea maybe Tayside payment is different I'm £2.50 for Glasgow Golf Union. I'm sure Renfrewshire are the same.

Tayside ? There isn't a Tayside County as far as I'm aware, anyway, just shows you what a shambles it is that different areas pay different money.
 
Don't remember exactly but my county sub is in the region of £25. But you have to elect to join and pay that so only a fraction of female club members are also county members.


Again, what a farce, women can choose to pay but but for men it's compulsory, a question of which I've never been given an answer to.
 
As I understand it all men are members of the area? And it's £2.50 per member paid by the clubs out of subs?

Don't remember exactly but my county sub is in the region of £25. But you have to elect to join and pay that so only a fraction of female club members are also county members.

Clubs pass it onto the members its listed separately on your club invoice at fee time. Fees for the year, SG fee and County Golf Fee which goes to the golf union.

I certainly don't know what your £25 is for - I'd be questioning that but I suspect someone is drinking a bottle of Gin on you!:ROFLMAO:


Having looked at the SG website there I see that that men use "area" and the woman's game seem to have kept the "counties" tag. Rather confusing I agree.
 
I'm happy with the £25, really enjoy the county side of things and get plenty out of it. As I said, probably the best value for money golf payment I make each year.

You've now got me wondering if I'm also paying £2.50 towards the men's area.... :unsure:

You won't you will probably be paying a slightly higher fee to the ladies Midlothian (if my geography is correct) county.
 
10th ranked male player in the world is Scottish, Sandy Scott. But, yeah nobody else in the top 200.

A handful of women in the 50-100 bracket.
i think he was higher than that, but has been at Uni in the US for 4 years, i thinks this is his last year though
