The AVGU is incorporated in the ACT with an Executive comprising of one Delegate from each of the affiliated associations in all eight States and Territories. The basic objectives of the Union are promoting the game of golf generally, assisting and coordinating member States and Territories in the administration of the game of golf for veteran golfers and providing the guidelines for the conduct, control and management of the annual AVGU Championships.
Each affiliated State and Territory association is autonomous in the administration, control and conduct of their competition roster that does vary from association to association. Currently NSWVGA, ACTRVGA and QVGU offer lady membership. Competitions are conducted on week days.
‘Veteran golfer’ is defined as being an amateur golfer who is a member of a golf club affiliated with Golf Australia that is prescribed by AVGU, holds a current GA handicap and is a member of an affiliated State or Territory veteran golfer association. The national membership, as at November 2014 was 32,441, with state and territory wide competitions utilising hundreds of golf courses.
