In a real positive for the Duchy, Carlyon Bay and the Isles of Scilly Golf Club have become the first two Cornish clubs in the county to sign up to the Women in Golf Charter.

The purpose of the charter is

• To encourage more women and girls to play the game and join clubs
• To inspire more families to enjoy golf as a group leisure activity
• To open up more opportunities for women to work within the golf industry

England Golf encourages clubs and counties to sign up to the Charter and has provided a list of potential commitments. These mean we are all working together to achieve the overarching aims of the Charter.

A club or county can select as many commitments as they wish. They just need to make sure they have tangible measures and timescales linked to each commitment. Providing baseline measurers when making your commitments will help to demonstrate the impact of becoming a Charter signatory.

You can find a step-by-step guide for clubs wishing to become a charter signatory:and download a toolkit here

In the meantime well done to both the Isles of Scilly and Carlyon Bay Golf Clubs!
