Club Coaching Grant

This grant replaces the previous Junior Club Coaching and Free Golf Coaching grants.

The English Golf Union (EGU) and English Women’s Golf Association (EWGA) have a grant available to support coaching sessions within affiliated golf clubs for adult and junior beginners/non members and junior members.

The 2008 Golf Club Membership Questionnaire Results have identified that 82% of golf clubs currently have membership vacancies for adults and 78% have junior vacancies. To support these focus areas the EGU/EWGA have developed the Club Coaching Grant to give golf clubs the flexibility and financial support to run sessions and activities, which will help increase participation and sustain involvement in the game.

The Club Coaching Grant can be utilised to subsidise PGA Professional costs and/or advertising costs and the EGU/EWGA recommend that golf clubs match part of this funding.

Activities funded by the grant should not be conducted in isolation and golf clubs should look at ways of continuing beginners’ involvement in the game through further discounted lessons, packages and offers. The recruitment and retention of both adults and juniors is key to ensure golf club membership remains healthy and the EGU/EWGA annual Club Coaching Grant can be beneficial in developing appropriate programmes. The attached document ‘Ideas following Taster Sessions’ provides suggestions for your golf club. You may also wish to consult with the Essex Partnership Development Officer. 

There are two levels of funding available in 2009: 

  • £800 Grant for clubs awarded GolfMark (incorporating Clubmark)
  • £400 Grant for all other affiliated golf clubs (for the first 350 clubs that apply).

There is a variety of ways in which golf clubs can utilise the funding, as detailed in the grant options. For further information and an application form please open the documents below:
