Since the Greener Golf project began in Leicestershire and Rutland, we have been well-supported by our local wildlife trust, the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust (LRWT). Indeed, establishing a strong collaboration was integral to the way we wished to develop.

A shout out to one of our network's Warwickshire clubs Shirley Golf Club Ltd who have been shortlisted for England Golf's Club of the Year. Here's an overview of their successes in 2024 - best of luck in the final!Shirley’s 'Golf for Disabled Children' project delivers free coaching to over 100 SEND children from local schools every week. They have achieved this for over 20 years through money donated from members and its annual GFDC Golf Day. Following an ecology report, work was carried out on the golf course to remove dead trees, which was handmade into outdoor seating and donated to a local forestry school to conduct outdoor lessons for children. To ensure all visitors are safe, Shirley’s staff have undergone mental health awareness training, while they have also engaged the local community through the creation of a Greener/Eco Golf Network in 2024 – enabling local clubs, people and communities to work together on improving sustainability and wildlife in the local area, and providing free conference space for education on the same topic. In the last 12 months, the club has welcomed over 160 new members and increased membership benefits to focus on mental/physical health through partnerships with local gyms, financial advisors, discounts to wellbeing events, and more. They have also created new flexible membership categories to help attract a wider range of golfers/ages. A new Director position has been created to be responsible for equality, diversity and inclusion on its Management Committee, while its charity work has seen it raise nearly £100,000 for charitable causes. Shirley is also set to host national tournaments including the Midlands Closed Amateur Championship and the Junior European Open Qualifier in 2025. ... See MoreSee Less
