The Club Volunteer Group comprises all those lovers of the game who do so much to help their clubs.
The volunteer sector is a key engine for golf, as it is in most sports.
Club Volunteers give up their time to chair and sit on committees ranging from marketing to greens and house to finance. They organise junior sections, put on social events and help recruit new members. They do so for the love of the game and to help their clubs thrive.
Until now, there was no formal structure to help them acquire new knowledge and skills particularly relevant to the golf industry.
This new initiative will empower golf’s volunteers and allow them to do their jobs more effectively and efficiently by allowing them to access remote learning.
Topics covered will range from health and safety legislation to safeguarding; and from marketing to basic finance.
The result will be a common language created for the golf industry and better working relationships between the volunteers and the paid professional staff at the clubs.
