England Golf
England Golf is the governing body for amateur golf in England. It is one of the country’s largest sports governing bodies and looks after the interests of more than 1,800 affiliated golf clubs and 720,000 members. England Golf is at the heart of grassroots golf, inspiring people to have a lifelong involvement in the game. Our development initiative ‘Get into golf’ introduces new golfers, juniors and adults, to start playing the game as well as increasing the interest and participation in golf. Working with our partners we offer business support to clubs to encourage more golfers to enjoy the benefits of club membership and to help promote the game as being accessible, fun and family friendly. For competitive golfers, England Golf provides championships for all ages and abilities, both in individual and team events, hosted at some of the most prestigious courses across the country, some with qualifying events at any club. We identifiy and develop the country’s most talented golfers through their amateur careers, many of whom go on to become the world’s leading professional golfers, such as Justin Rose, Lee Westwood, Tommy Fleetwood, Charley Hull, Brontë Law and Melissa Reid. Funding The majority of England Golf funding comes from affiliation fees paid by golfers which funds the core activities of the organisation. Members of each affiliated club pay an annual subscription to their County Union (men) or County Association (women) and to England Golf.
