It has taken some time to get to this point however I am delighted to share with you that Lesley Lloyd will take up this position with a view to moving into her captaincy role in September 2025. Lesley joins our committee with a vast amount of experience as a player as well as on the administrative side.

Lesley is a current member of the Ladies Golf Club Troon. She is also a past Captain of Lanarkshire Ladies County in 2010/2011, current Captain of the SVLGA West Division 2024/2025.

Lesley has also excelled as a player having represented SVLGA at the Irish Match and Jamboree as well as representing Scotland at the European Senior Team Championships and Senior Home Internationals.
