Regional Strength and Conditioning Coach - North West Region
Since 1924, golf has been played in England with national governing bodies looking after the national interest of the sport. During this time the country, society, traditions, and the game have changed significantly. In particular, the two main governing bodies in England for men's and women's amateur golf merged in 2012, forming England Golf. This was an important way forward for golf governance and another step in the right direction for golfing unity. At England Golf it has always been our mission to lead, support, inspire and deliver for our community of golfers, golf clubs and counties. That will never change. We are re-focusing our priorities, energy and passion on key areas to help widen golf's appeal, highlighting our sport as more inclusive and accessible than ever.
