EGU Marketing Worskshop - 13th March Almouth GC

Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Make 2012 the year your golf club begins its marketing journey!

In response to the continued number of requests from clubs, the English Golf Union Club Services Department is running a further series of marketing workshops throughout February and March 2012 in which we will look at the basic marketing requirements of any golf club and how it can be approached with limited resources and budget. Northumberland's workshop is being held on 13th March at Alnmouth (Foxton Hall) GC.

The aim is to equip your golf club with the basic understanding of golf club marketing principles and how they can best be put into practice. The day will be aimed at your officials responsible for driving the club marketing function, including Managers, marketing committee Chairman and members. A club can register two delegates to attend.

Topics being covered will include:

 Why you need to be marketing your golf club now and forever!

 How simple planning can help increase your chances of success

 Establishing an effective marketing committee

 How the right marketing tools-including online- can reduce workload and cost

 3 Successful membership recruitment strategies

 The simple answer to getting more visitors and societies to your golf club

The day will be presented by the EGU Golf Club Marketing consultant Jane Carter. She has been working with the EGU to advise affiliated golf clubs throughout the country for more than four years and has a full understanding of the issues faced and how many of them are taking a new approach to marketing.

For all those golf clubs participating, you will then be eligible for a free two hour visit by Jane or one of her team at Golf Unlimited to offer specific advice and support to your golf club in its own marketing efforts.

Places at all of the day will be on a first come first served basis limited to two delegates per golf club. The cost will be £20 per head to cover light lunch and refreshments. Clubs who have not previously attended will be given priority.

EWGA and EGU Merger Goes Ahead

Thu, 17 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT

The merger of the English Golf Union (EGU) and the English Women’s Golf Association (EWGA) was approved today (16 November 2011) at simultaneous general meetings of both organisations.

The merger will come into effect on 1 January 2012 and will create England Golf, one national governing body to represent all amateur golfers in England.

The merger proposal was approved by 86 per cent of the voting members of the EGU, meeting at its headquarters in Woodhall Spa; and by 100 per cent of the voting members of the EWGA, meeting at the National Motor Cycle Museum at Solihull. Both organisations had to approve the proposal by a majority of at least 75 per cent for it to be successful.

The decision was immediately hailed as a triumph for golf and a vital step forward for the game. Nigel Evans, Chairman EGU and Sylvia Perrins, Interim Chairman EWGA said: “This merger is in the best interests of golf and we are delighted that it has been given overwhelming support by our members. We look forward to a new era and to realising our vision for the future.

“England Golf will speak with one voice and send out the powerful, modern message that golf is a game for all, for men and women, boys and girls.

“A unified organisation, which promotes both the men’s and women’s game, will be more attractive to new golfers, will help us to grow the game, will be more appealing to commercial partners and sponsors and will mean we can be more cost effective.”

The merger vote followed a long period of consultation and preparation, which began in 2009 when a steering group was formed of members of both organisations. Following lengthy discussions, and the involvement of ten working groups, the proposal was produced and ratified by the Boards of both organisations before being put to the voting members.

Key points of the merger

• The headquarters of England Golf will initially be at the National Golf Centre at Woodhall Spa. The EWGA offices in Edgbaston will continue in use until at least October 2012.
• The counties will continue to be the voting members. Counties will be encouraged to merge their Unions and Associations, but this will not be mandatory.
• The Board of England Golf will initially include 10 stakeholder non-executive directors, six nominated by the EGU and four women nominated by the EWGA. One of these 10 will be nominated as Chairman.
• The first sole President of England Golf will be a woman. The President will be supported by the immediate Past President and the President-Elect. One of these three will always be a woman.
• Club golf will go on, from day-to-day, as it does now, but members will benefit from the positive perceptions created by the merger and by the better support available for clubs.
• All the championships and tournaments currently run by the EWGA and the EGU will continue.
• The regional and group structures of the two organisations will continue to run competitions. The decision-making role of the EWGA regional committees will end.
• Affiliation fees for men and women will be harmonised and will be equal by 1 January 2014. Women will continue to pay an additional subscription to the Ladies Golf Union.
