Golf honours its champion volunteers

For Immediate Publication

England 's growing network of golf volunteers was celebrated at a tribute dinner during the County Golf Development Conference at the National Golf Centre, Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire , on Tuesday, 23rd February.

A packed audience of more than 100 county golf specialists acclaimed the work of volunteers of all ages and backgrounds who sacrifice their valuable time to support others. A select few were presented with annual awards on the night as honoured guests of the England Golf Partnership.

The Services to Club Development award was won by Andrew Plane, of Eden Golf Club, Cumbria . He has served as junior organiser for over 15 years, runs free junior sessions for 46 weeks of the year, has formed a juniors' committee at the club, a Tigers Club for youngsters and helped to build a thriving junior section which has produced many elite amateur and professional players.

The awards ceremony was led by EGP volunteer manager Philip Beard and the winners were presented with their awards by EGP Chairman Bill Bryce.

The volunteers programme is part of England Golf's ‘Whole Sport Plan' for golf and is an integral part of England Golf's vision to ‘Grow the Game'.

Your handicap committee is required by CONGU, to carry out an annual review of the handicaps of all members. The purpose of the review is to identify:

•  Those players whose general playing performance and scoring pattern over the year is better than that expected for their handicap category and who should be considered for a reduction of handicap.

•  Those players whose general playing performance and scoring pattern over the year falls short of that expected for their handicap category and who should be considered for an increase of handicap.

The handicap committee have decided that based on the evidence of completed competition rounds this year, the increases/decreases in handicap are displayed on the notice in the changing room.
