Clubmark helps golf club to develop junior participation
A very familiar sight at Hamptworth Golf & Country Club is that of a group of juniors having a putting competition as you pass them on the drive into the club, however this wasn't always the case. As a young club we have worked really hard to get our junior section growing and for a few years we had lots of keen junior members but all who were very young, needing supervision. Now they are all blossoming into very capable golfers and are being chased by all the new blood coming into the club.

GreaterSport – A License to Deliver!
Earlier this year GreaterSport - The Greater Manchester County Sport Partnership gained a license to award Clubmark. This means clubs working towards their National Governing Body accreditation can receive additional support and also clubs with an NGB that is not licensed to deliver Clubmark can now also achieve Clubmark by fulfilling the generic criteria.
Introducing policy to support Clubmark
Many Clubmark clubs operate from local authority leisure facilities and school sports facilities. Recognising and rewarding these quality clubs through reduced hire charges and priority programming not only provides accredited clubs with tangible benefits but also gives facility managers the reassurance that their customers are offered high quality sporting opportunities in a safe and secure environment.
