Golf clubs around the state do amazing things in delivering the great game of golf to their community. Golf Queensland is committed to sharing best practice, so this is definitely an area of the Club Support Centre that will be continually updated.
We love to hear of real life case studies from clubs who are willing to share initiatives that have resulted in improving their club performance.
Some examples of these initiative areas might include:
• Membership recruitment & retention;
• Innovative membership models;
• Marketing and promotion;
• Social media;
• Member surveys;
• Community engagement;
• Volunteer programs;
• Staff education and development;
• Partnerships with other clubs or businesses;
• Funding and grants
The case study can be sent in a number of forms; a newsletter article, an email message, a YouTube clip, an annual report article, an article from a magazine or local newspaper or any format that you would like to share.

Women and Girls Resources
Golf Queensland supports the National Parks, Sport and Racing Women and Girls Resources to improve the participation and recreational opportunities for Women and Girls in sport. The Women and Girls Principles is a resource to assist organisations to implement best practice models to positively influence female participation. The Women and Girls Checklist provides a tool for organisations to conduct a "self-audit" which is useful in identifying gaps so they can develop a plan of action to ensure they positively influence female participation in sport and recreation. Visit the Queensland Government website for more information.
Utilising these useful new resources will contribute to improvements being made for women and girls in sport and recreation as a whole.
