The 'Get into golf' scheme is designed to inspire adults in England to take up the sport and play more often.
Building on its existing success, a major digital marketing campaign is set to run from April and July to get even more people golfing.
“This is the first national advertising campaign designed to attract thousands more people into the sport,” said David Joy, Chief Executive of England Golf. We are expecting it to reach hundreds of thousands of people with a surge in awareness of the sport and the campaign - all building on the already highly successful Get into golf programme.”
The digital advertising will bring potential new players to the Get into golf website where they can find out about golfing opportunities near them through an activity finder as well as book online.
Ryder Cup hero Justin Rose is backing Get into golf: “This is just what golf needs. It is fantastic that more people will have access to the sport.”
To ensure there is plenty on offer for potential newcomers, golf clubs and PGA professional can now add their own activities and take advantage of the national marketing drive to grow their own business.
Nick Arter, PGA professional from Play Golf Colchester, says: “I can highly recommend this. The Get into golf website is making the sport easier to access and book. It also takes away any apprehension and helps take the stuffy image out of golf. It’s a great opportunity for golf clubs and PGA professionals to take advantage of increased awareness and promote their own businesses. You can easily add local activities to the Get into golf site and these can then be accessed through an online booking system.”
