Former golfer turned fencer Clare Queen returns to Scottish Golf as Head of Performance and Pathways

Clare Queen decided to leave professional golf and turn to professional fencing in 2022. The former Ladies European Tour (LET) golfer served as an inspiration to many aspiring women golfers in Scotland.

However, Queen has now decided to make a comeback to golf in a management position. According to the Scotsman, the former LET golfer has been appointed as the Head of Performance and Pathways for Scottish Golf.

Clare Queen is a prominent name in Scotland and climbed up the amateur ranks while playing a part on the Ladies European Tour. Before her short fencing career, Queen held a similar position in Scottish golf management. In her previous role, she was also a performance coordinator with the Scottish Ladies Golfing Association.

According to her LinkedIn profile, Queen was first the Head of Pathways and Community Change at Scottish Fencing. Subsequently, she got a promotion and was appointed as the Chief Operating Officer at Scottish Fencing.

However, Queen has now left that position at Scottish Fencing and returned to Scottish Golf with big plans for the future. She was previously the Head of Performance but will now serve as the Head of Performance and Pathways.
