England Golf form #TogetherInGolf Network
England Golf's #TogetherInGolf Network will enable the organisation to best listen to voices from underrepresented groups to positively affect everyone's experiences of golf in the future.
England Golf has announced a newly-formed #TogetherInGolf Network group.
With the national governing body’s commitment to providing a more inclusive sport, the creation of its #TogetherInGolf Network will enable the organisation to listen to voices from underrepresented groups to positively affect everyone’s experiences of golf in the future.
After an initial introductory meeting in 2023, the group, made up of 18 members, came together for a second focus session at the weekend, to share and feed back on challenges they have experienced, whilst also championing best practice.
The network includes a variety of demographics including; women, men, people with a disability, LGBTQ+, diverse ethnic backgrounds, lower SES groups, and ages ranging from 20 to over 65. The network represents people from all across England, and there is a mix of golf club members and non-members.

Philip Burke, from Birmingham, said:
As a result of working with the members of the network, England Golf aim to create more evidence-based decisions about proposed changes, which will allow members to have their say and influence the game.
