Golf
|
Golf is a sport that can be played together by people of all ages and abilities and from 2012 will once again be played at the Olympics. It can be played at social, competitive, amateur or professional levels, with other people in a group or on your own. It can be a great way of meeting new people, for families to participate in a sport together and also for getting out in the fresh air! |

Golf currently has separate governing bodies for the men's and women's amateur games and the professional game that are represented at County level by:
The Staffordshire Ladies County Golf Association (SLCGA)
The Staffordshire Union of Golf Clubs (SUGC)
The Staffordshire PGA
The County Golf Partnership brings together these three organisations, creating one voice towards developing the future of golf in Staffordshire. It brings national initiatives and resources to the county to lead where necessary and bolster the efforts of the individual associations, clubs and facilities.
The core objectives are as follows:
- To promote the game of golf and increase people's awareness of golf in the county of Staffordshire.
- To attract people to the sport of golf irrespective of ability, age, gender or race.
- To assist golf clubs to increase membership and the number of people playing golf in Staffordshire.
- To facilitate links between golf clubs and the world of education to enable golf to become a core sport in schools.
- To undertake the training of volunteers and coaches.
- To ensure the continuity of standards and good practice within the golf club network.
- To work closely with both county and national partner members.To seek funding from available sources to finance these objectives.
