There is no place in golf for any form of discrimination and Respect in Golf embodies that belief.
The GCMA is proud to be a supporter of England Golf’s Respect in Golf movement.
Respect in Golf is a movement to inspire, promote and create greater understanding and embracement of equality, diversity and inclusion within the sport.
“We’re delighted to be supporting the England Golf’s Respect in Golf campaign,” said GCMA CEO Tom Brooke.
“Golf is unique in so many ways and offers so many excellent opportunities for people from different backgrounds to come together and enjoy the game, without prejudice or barrier to participation.
“Golf’s core values are all based around integrity and respect and it is so important for us to come together as an industry and ensure that this is seen throughout the game, at all levels and at any venue where golf can be enjoyed.
“We still have a long way to go for this to truly be recognised and the Respect in Golf campaign is a great way of helping us to get there.
“Golf Club Managers have a key role to play in promoting this message and we’re looking forward to playing our part.”
