Press: County’s big three to forge new link
The Kent County Golf Union, the Kent County Ladies Golf Association and the Kent County Professional Golfers Association have agreed to join forces to form the Kent Golf Partnership.
The basic objectives behind the new partnership are to promote and increase the awareness of the game in Kent, introducing more people to golf regardless of age, gender and background.
The aim after that initial step is to help players to sustain their involvement and participation in golf by getting involved with clubs and competitions.
This will be achieved by working with golf clubs in Kent, and other national agencies to produce and deliver a county golf development plan.
The Partnership has already held a series of club forums throughout the county to advise Club Officials and Professionals of the scheme and to give them an opportunity to share their ideas for developing golf in the County so watch this space.
The Kent Golf Partnership (KGP) as it is called, is receiving funding and support from England Golf Partnership to write a development plan for the county; if approved it will receive further funding to put the plan into action. In addition, Commercial Sponsorship will be welcomed with an opportunity to advertise on the upcoming KGP website. Anyone interested should contact Ian Betts for further information.
The England Golf Partnership comprises the English Golf Union, English Ladies Golf Association and the Professional Golfers Association with support of the Golf Foundation and Sports England.
