This is a new, focused initiative that aims to take the development of girls’ golf to another level. 6 pilot girls’ golf development hubs have been selected. The scheme aims to support the selected clubs to develop a 3 year programme and create an environment where girls are able to thrive, flourish and develop in golf.
Our development team provide focused support in attracting and retaining larger numbers of girls to the club, which in turn should aid further recruitment and retention. Non golfing activities will also be used to engage and retain more girls such as beauty and fashion. The campaign posters focus on the social side using the words and hash tag – Fun, Friendships and Laughter…#sheplays2
The clubs have the following targets over 3 years:
- To recruit 30 – 60 girls to participate in regular coaching and social activities
50% to convert to club membership with a number achieving a club handicap
