  • GROW the GAME BEAT the COMPETITION
    Irish Ladies Golf Union PLAYER DEVELOPMENT VISION 2015 - 2018 GROW the GAME BEAT the COMPETITION WELCOME Message from Brege McCarrick (ILGU Chairman) The ILGU Vision, “Grow the Game, Beat the Competition”, sets out a challenging agenda for the union, players, coaches, staff and volunteers for the next three years. The Vision and associated Strategy will focus on increasing the numbers of young girls and ladies playing golf and providing a wide range of high quality player centred programmes by highly skilled coaches, staff and volunteers. To implement the Strategy successfully, we will need to work collaboratively with and have the support of golf clubs, the Confederation of Golf in Ireland, the Irish Sports Council, Sport Northern Ireland, the Irish Institute of Sport, Sports Institute of Northern Ireland, the Professional Golfers Association and most importantly our coaches, staff and volunteers. I would particularly like to acknowledge the ISC, SNI and the R&A for the much needed funding which they afford a number of our programmes. In this Strategy we are committed to delivering results with this funding by increasing the numbers of players and improving their skills development. I am confident that this Vision, through the associated Strategy and its Action Plan, will be delivered successfully by 2018. INTRODUCTION The landscape of Irish Ladies Golf has changed greatly over the past decade in relation to all aspects of the game from grass roots, retention through to development, performance and the professional game. Further changes are likely to occur in the coming years and the Board believe it is necessary to take a strategic approach to player development.

In this itinerary, you’ll find some of Ireland’s best-known championship golf courses, spread across a large geographical area. It can be enjoyed in one trip via Belfast, or can be split up into shorter trips via main access points. Whichever way you plan your itinerary, visitors will have the chance to see the places where the likes of Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke, Padraig Harrington and Paul McGinley play.
