It is worthwhile stating at the beginning that both Men and Women have equal standing at Malden Golf Club. Historically Malden Ladies play on a Tuesday (detailed below) however more and more Members play at the weekend. Ladies can play on a Mens Medal day in a booked slot providing they play the same format as the competitors on the day. Full Members are that, regardless of age or gender.
