About Baxenden Golf Club
We, Baxenden GC call on everyone involved in golf to play their part in developing a culture that values women’s involvement in every aspect of the sport, from participating to pursuing a career.
– Our aim is to increase the number of women and girls playing and working in golf.
– To achieve this goal and to enable women to flourish throughout golf, we recognise the need for a fundamental shift in culture. There is a clear ethical need for change and the potential economic benefits of growing the sport through more women and girls playing are substantial.
– The R&A commits to playing a leading role in this process and to working with affiliates, partners and the wider golf industry towards achieving this goal.
– In signing this Charter, we Baxenden GC commit to making tangible efforts to develop a welcoming and inspiring environment for women. We will do more to attract women into golf, to remain, and to have rewarding careers.
The Charter:
– Is a statement of intent from the golf industry and Baxenden GC, to unite and to focus gender balance at all levels
– Commits us all to supporting measures to increase the number of women, girls and families playing golf
– Calls for positive action to encourage women to pursue careers in all areas of the sport
– Recognises the need for change that creates an inclusive environment within golf and our golf club
