SIX GOLF CLUBS WIN FUNDING FOR JUNIOR/BEGINNERS’ COACHING
Following the distribution of the EGU/ELGA Golf Club Membership
Questionnaire in February 2006, over 600 golf clubs have already
returned completed surveys.
As an incentive for golf clubs to respond promptly, the EGU/ELGA
offered rewards of additional funding for coaching sessions
to selected golf clubs that completed and returned their questionnaires
before 30th April.
Six golf clubs were randomly selected and have received funding
of up to £300 to put towards junior and/or beginners
coaching sessions. The clubs receiving the funds are:
- Skipton Golf Club, Yorkshire
- Upton by Chester Golf Club, Cheshire
- Beacon Park Golf Club, Lancashire
- Barnham Broom Golf Club, Norfolk
- Newcastle under Lyme Golf Club, Staffordshire
- Rudding Park Golf Club, Yorkshire
The EGU/ELGA still require all golf clubs that have not yet
completed the survey to do so at their earliest convenience.
The information collated will help build up an accurate picture
of junior and adult membership within golf clubs in England
and allow resources to be focussed to best effect in the future.
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 England Golf research
strategy.
The aims of the questionnaire are 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.
The survey can be completed online at www.getintogolf.org/golfclubquestionnaire2006
or alternatively a hard copy version is available by calling
the EGU/ELGA Golf Development Team on 01526 354500
The EGU/ELGA Golf Club Membership Questionnaire is part of
the England Golf’s ‘Whole Sport Plan for Golf’
research strategy.
