Australian Ladies Golf Union

(From 1921 – 1990)
  • Occupation Sporting Organisation, Union

Summary

Although several Australian states had formed Ladies Golf Unions in the early 20th century, a national body was not established until November 1921. The Australian Ladies Golf Union (ALGU) was run by delegates from Victoria and New South Wales, with Western Australia having a proxy vote. The aim of the ALGU was to promote and organise women’s golf in Australia; a role which had been previously undertaken by the men’s Australian golf union.
