Golf Clubs Under Spotlight Again
The English Golf Union and English Ladies‘ Golf Association
have distributed the biennial Golf Club Membership Questionnaire
to all 1,913 affiliated golf clubs.
As part of their ongoing research strategy, this latest survey
will question golf clubs on a variety of topics related to
junior and adult issues, including memberships, fees, vacancies
and waiting lists.
The main aims of the research are:
1. To assess current membership structures within golf clubs
in England
2. To monitor membership trends within golf clubs in England
over time
3. To highlight the effect of current development initiatives
4. To identify where resources are best focused in the future
Richard Flint, EGU Golf Development Manager comments: “This
research is key to aid our strategic planning and to focus
resources in order to meet the needs of the game, golf clubs
and individuals within it”.
It is hoped that the 2004 questionnaire will highlight the
positive effect that current ‘Get into Golf’ initiatives
are having, in particular, the development of junior golf
within the club environment and the accessibility and affordability
of golf clubs.
A copy of the questionnaire is available on the EGU website
and all results will be published later in the year and issued
to every golf club.
The Golf Club Membership Questionnaire 2004 is just part
of the EGU and ELGA’s golf development research strategy.
