Supporting your club to undertake a governance review
At England Golf we want every club to be successful and the support and resources we offer on governance are all free of charge.
If your club is interested in reviewing your governance, our club support network is available to work through our updated governance guide. This guide provides a blueprint for you to follow with questions included to help you improve.
Please note: this guide and our support is not a replacement for one-to-one support from partners. Neither does it provide specific legal or accountancy guidance.
The new updated Governance Guide covers key topics including:
- organisational structure & incorporation
- strategic planning
- recruiting the right people on your committees
Governance Pack
We’ve also created a governance pack designed to dovetail with the guide. The pack is broken down into five phases:
- planning & scoping
- structure and processes
- recruitment and role descriptions
- orientation and volunteer support
- ongoing and reviewing
So, whatever stage your club is at, there are templates, resources and guidance to makes the process easier for you.
See governance brought to life
England Golf and the Golf Course Managers Association recently teamed up to deliver five workshops focused on the Key Principles of Excellent Governance. The sessions were led by industry expert, Kevin Fish, and aimed at helping clubs take their first step towards excellent governance.
This 20-minute film is from one of the workshops and introduces key topics such as:
- what is club governance?
- committee set up
- recruiting the right people with the right skills
- strategic planning and member satisfaction
