The Women in Golf Charter was originally launched in May of this year the R&A. It aims to inspire an industry-wide commitment to a more inclusive culture, enabling women and girls to flourish and reach their potential at all levels of the sport.
Growing the women and girls’ game is also central to the Wales Golf strategy ‘Everyone’s Game, Anywhere’ and we want to bring about real change in golf, with greater gender diversity at every level of the sport
The Women in Golf Charter specifically aims to:
- Strengthen the focus on gender balance and provide a united position for the golf industry
- Commit national federations and organisations to support measures targeted at increasing participation of women, girls, and families in golf
- Call on signatories to take positive action to support the recruitment, retention, and progression of women working at all levels of the sport
- Set individual targets for national federations for participation and membership and annual reporting of progress
- Develop an inclusive environment for women and girls within golf
