Although we will always remain committed to the delivery of our charitable mandate, the focus of the Foundation has, in recent years, moved more towards working with our industry partners to address the decline in golfing participation numbers. In England there is now a unified strategic approach, involving all of the major golfing organisations. The Golf Foundation is committed to playing a full role in delivering the wider golfing objectives, which include continuing to meet the operational targets agreed with Sport England and England Golf. We continue to believe that success in persuading individuals to play sport in adult life is greatly helped by introducing them to, and capturing their interest in, sport during their early school years.

Alwoodley is a lovely course but it’s seriously demanding, especially the closing stretch. Long par 4s see you home and they usually play into the prevailing wind that sweeps off the Yorkshire Dales. Much like many famous links courses, at Alwoodley you need to earn your score on the first 11 or 12 holes and then hang on for dear life heading home. The club is simply a must-visit for anybody who appreciates great inland golf.

Ryder Cup 40Th Anniversary
The 1979 Ryder Cup Forty years ago, golf at The Greenbrier graduated. The Greenbrier’s place in golf history had already been cemented by the mid-1900s. From golfing legend Sam Snead, who served as the Golf Professional at America’s Resort™ from 1936 through 1974 — later returning as the Golf Professional Emeritus from 1993 until his death in 2002 — to presidents, dignitaries and celebrities who walked the fairways and putted on the greens, those who understood golf in the United States knew all about The Greenbrier. But it was an event 40 years ago this week that really crowned The Greenbrier as one of golf’s ultimate destinations. In 1976, The Greenbrier hired Jack Nicklaus with one goal in mind, rebuilding The Greenbrier Course to host the Ryder Cup in 1979. The course, which had opened in 1924, had the pedigree, but some changes had to be made for it to host the best in the world. So, for 22 months, Nicklaus and his team focused HAROLD VARNER III HAROLD VARNER on every hole on the course. The greens were rebuilt, a lake was added, the number of bunkers was increased to 44, and par went from 70 to 72. The new course officially opened on Memorial Day Weekend in 1978, but it was introduced The 1979 Ryder Cup American Team to the world September 14-16, 1979, when the 23rd Ryder Cup Matches came to White Sulphur Springs, W.Va.
