Recruiting Junior Members
While individual clubs are responsible for their own membership vacancies and listings JGI can support a club in increasing its junior membership by linking it to a local primary school or specifically targeting girls through the Girls'nGolf secondary school project. For examples of how this has worked to date in 2009 read case sudies from clubs in 2009.
If you have vacancies for junior members, boys and girls, please contact us to let us know and if you are looking to recruit more junior members contact your Regional Development Officer for ideas on how JGI can help you with this.
If you already have juniors but would like some ideas on developing girls' golf check out the Developing Junior Girls factsheet or check out the ILGU's policy in relation to girls participation in ladies golf.
