Blue Mountains District Ladies Golf Association
Who are we?
Blue Mountains District Ladies’ Golf Association Inc. (BMDLGA).
Our District extends from Wentworth Falls on the eastern side of the Blue Mountains range to Oberon on the western side, high on the Great Dividing Range.
Our District is a small, unique, heritage listed region that incorporates Wentworth Falls, Leura, Blackheath, Lithgow, Portland (which is a sand green course) and Oberon.
Springwood Country Club was a Member until 2018 when the Club transferred to the Metropolitan District.
What do we do?
The BMDLGA is responsible for the administration of women’s golf within our District.
The BMDLGA organises golf events including an Annual District Championship, Yearly Pennants and actively encourages and participates in Club Open Days.
The Association and our Member Clubs are always willing to provide golfers with a unique and memorable golfing experience. Visitors are always welcome to a relaxed and friendly atmosphere whether on the golf course (generally a walk up start is available) or within the Clubhouse.
For further information please contact any of the BMDLGA Committee Members who will be happy to assist with enquires or go to the Golf Clubs page.
Our History
The inaugural meeting of the Blue Mountains District Associates Golf Association was held at Leura Golf Club on 12th December, 1929. B.M.D.A.G.A. was the third Country Association to be formed in New South Wales. In 1989 the title of B.M.D.A.G.A. was changed to the Blue Mountains District Ladies Golf Association (B.M.D.L.G.A.).
At the present time we have six Clubs – Oberon, Portland, Lithgow, Blackheath, Leura, Wentworth Falls. In 2018, after 89 years with the Blue Mountains District, sadly Springwood CC transferred to the Metropolitan Zone. Unfortunately, Katoomba and Lawson are no longer with us as their golf courses have closed.
Being a small Association has some advantages; the major one being that all Clubs are within a reasonable travelling distance of one another. B.M.D.L.G.A. promotes and organizes golf through our Annual Tournament, Interclub Pennant Matches, various special days and Club Open Days, all of which contribute to the friendly relationships which exist amongst the Clubs and Players.
2019 sees the District celebrate 90 years of operation. A 90th Birthday celebration day was held at Leura, the Club where the inaugural meeting of the BMDAGA was held in December 1929. Players competed in a 4 Ball Best Ball event and were treated to lunch provided by The Fairmont Resort. The player’s expenses were paid for by the BMDLGA.
A 90th birthday booklet was produced to highlight 90 years of operation.
