OBE[edit]

I could not find any independent source for this important piece of information. Just her own page and this ad https://books.google.com/books?id=Y4vsu3kmyIwC&pg=PA31&dq=%22Vivien+Saunders%22+obe&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjV_cfz3t7TAhUCLSYKHXIlCbsQ6AEIIjAA#v=onepage&q=%22Vivien%20Saunders%22%20obe&f=false

In this book https://books.google.com/books?id=6gYqAAAAYAAJ&dq=%22Vivien+Saunders%22+OBE&focus=searchwithinvolume&q=%22Vivien+Saunders%22 that includes other OBE she is mentioned but without the title and on the few lists for the OBE I could find and checked she is not included. I propose removing it until an independent reliable source can be found. --Rogerx2 (talk) 14:50, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Appears in The Times. Official list "Miss V I Saunders , serv Women's Golf" also in sporting article "There is an OBE for Vivien Saunders, a guiding light in the early days of the Women's Professional Golfers Association." The Independent says "Among the sporting OBEs are ... Vivien Saunders, first chairman of the Women's Professional Golf Association." Nigej (talk) 15:33, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
