We need YOUR help to broaden The PGA's influence

The PGA wants to be at the heart of the game and you can help spread the word

In recent months you will have read, watched and listened to a lot of different things about the very significant changes to our membership structure and why it’s important to you as Members.

As you hopefully know by now, The PGA’s 2020 Vision initiative recognises that golf is changing and reflects the evolving role of both Members and the Association itself, offering increased specialisation for PGA Professionals plus group membership opportunities for all who work or volunteer in golf through the creation of the Business Management Group and Club Volunteer by PGA.

Now we need your help to share this vision with the people you work with.

What are we asking you to do?

Simply share the PGA Member referral infographic (link below) with your colleagues and any volunteer members. It contains information about the many benefits to them of joining BMG or Club Volunteer and becoming aligned to The PGA.

Why are we asking you to do this?

• The more people who join, the more we are able to speak to those who directly influence your day-to-day business, including committees, managers and proprietors.
• Bringing all those who work and volunteer in golf under the umbrella of The PGA will enable you as PGA Members and us as an Association to have a much greater influence in the game.

Why is this important for you?

• The better we can engage with the golf industry the more we will be able to shape its future direction and take a more significant role in increasing participation.
• By placing The PGA at the heart of the game we are empowering you as a PGA Member, enhancing your status and increasing your ability to develop your career.

Members of a Membership Group but NOT PGA Members

• Those who join the new membership groups will not be ‘Members’ of the Association or entitled to use the brand in the same way that full PGA Members can.
• By having a relationship with us and directly with you at club level, they will develop a greater understanding of the importance and value of the PGA Professional, whilst also enhancing their own skills.

What next?

Simply share the PGA Member referral infographic with anybody you think could benefit from joining, whether it’s the Secretary, General Manager, Chairman, Junior Organiser or any volunteers that sit on a committee or working group.

The document contains information on the two groups, links to find out more and details of a dedicated contact at The PGA – Kristian Wright - who is on hand to answer any questions they might have.

Get in touch with Kristian by email Kristian.wright@pga.org.uk or call 07500 104961.
