Honorary Membership


In 1996, the Board of Directors established a category of Honorary Membership in the VSWGA. The Board has determined that any golfer whose handicap index has gone above 36.0 and who has been, and is currently, an active participant, and has been a member of the VSWGA in good standing for several years, is eligible to be nominated for Honorary Membership.  It will be up to the Club Representative of the golfer's club to recommend her for Honorary Membership. A written letter with reasons why this person should be made an Honorary Member must be submitted by the October meeting of the Executive Board. The Board of Directors will evaluate each request and make the final decision as to who is to be elected to Honorary Membership. Honorary Members will be eligible to play in all VSWGA tournaments at a maximum USGA index of 36.0 but will be allowed to play to the club's full handicap for that index beginning with the VSWGA's 2011 season.   Honorary Members will be removed from the list if they have not been active in the previous two years or if their handicap index drops below a 36.0.
