The PGA is embracing Sport England’s This Girl Can campaign by striking out with a bold bid to get more women playing golf.
It has launched its own This Girl Golfs with aims of the campaign including breaking down the myths and misconceptions that might deter women from picking up a club and giving golf a go.
Golf campaign and Sport England’s This Girl Can Coach initiative, is playing an active role in recruiting new golfers, particularly women.
