Sweeny Cup is a season-long golf competition open to ladies living in the Lower Mainland who are 19 years of age or older, members in good standing of British Columbia Golf (Zone 3 or 4), and have a current handicap factor of 10.0 or less.

Violet Pooley Sweeny, a B.C. and Canadian Golf Hall of Fame member, started the Sweeny Cup competition in 1936. Violet organized the best female golfers from a variety of clubs to participate in a competitive golf environment.

The Sweeny Cup season typically runs from March until October with a series of one-day events at both private and public golf courses across the Lower Mainland. The top finishers at each event receive golf balls as prizes.

Congratulations to our 2023 champion,  Diane McFarlane of Ledgeview Golf Club.
