Thank you to everyone who joined us for today’s inspiring and action-packed junior golf workshop at East Brighton Golf Club
A special shoutout to our brilliant presenters: Allison Boozer England Golf ,Eve Clarke (Sussex County), Karen Parks Sussex County Ladies Golf Association and Richard Wilson (Safeguarding Officer).
We explored a wide range of topics to help clubs grow the game for young people, including:

The Community Golf Instructor Course
Bringing Golf into Schools to spark early interest
England Golf’s more flexible, responsive approach to club needs
Promoting equity over equality to meet young players where they are
Inclusive dress codes, flexible offerings, and welcoming club cultures
Running short course formats and Family Twilight sessions to engage families
A key safeguarding session led by Richard Wilson
And many more
The open forum brought out fantastic conversations — with clubs sharing real challenges, ideas, and next steps. Thank you for contributing!
