Hard work pays off for Braintree Golf Club
Braintree Golf Club's hard work and dedication to juniors and beginners has paid off after the club was awarded the GolfMark accreditation.
The English Golf Union (EGU) and English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) developed the GolfMark award to identify and acknowledge golf facilities in England that were junior and beginner friendly.
The GolfMark award also integrates Sport England's Clubmark award - a national standard for quality sports clubs recognised across the country.
More than 20 other sports, including tennis and rugby, are also using the alliance to add value to their accreditation schemes and more than 5,000 sports clubs have been awarded Clubmark or are working towards achieving accreditation.
There are a number of benefits that golf clubs can gain by achieving GolfMark accreditation, including increased membership, raising the club's profile, further development of coaches and volunteers and greater access to funding.
