About the English Golf Union
The English Golf Union Limited (EGU) has served as the governing body of male amateur golf in England since it was founded in 1924. Based at the National Golf Centre in Woodhall Spa, Lincolnshire the EGU is one of the largest sports governing bodies in England looking after the interests of over 1,900 golf clubs and 740,000 club members. It is a non-profit organisation run for the benefit of the game and its players.
In 1995 the EGU acquired Woodhall Spa Golf Club and built an additional course and academy to create the National Golf Centre. The National Golf Centre is now the home of English amateur golf and provides a top class coaching environment for the National Squads as well as excellent golfing facilities that are available to all players, whatever their handicap.
The EGU works to increase the interest and participation in golf through their golf development programme 'Get into Golf' which includes initiatives to promote the game to both juniors and adults. The EGU's Associate Membership Programme provides a facility whereby players who are unable to join an affiliated club can maintain a recognized handicap and take part in competitions and events with like minded golfers.
