EGU and ELGA seek vital information from Golf Clubs

clubs in England, has this week been distributed by the English
Golf Union (EGU) and English Ladies’ Golf Association
(ELGA).
The questionnaire is circulated every two years and the results
are used to build up a picture of junior and adult membership
within golf clubs in England. This year for the first time
the results will be included as part of the as part of the
England Golf Partnership (EGP) research strategy.
The aims of the questionnaire to monitor membership trends
within golf clubs in England over time highlight the effect
of current development initiatives and identify where resources
are best focused in the future.
Richard Flint, Golf Development Manager commented: “Ongoing
research is vital for the EGU and ELGA in particular to gain
a greater understanding of the game as a whole, golf clubs
and individual golfers. By responding to the questionnaire
golf clubs are helping us to identify where to focus future
resources”.
The EGU and ELGA are offering an incentive for golf clubs
to complete their questionnaire with every golf club returning
