Engaging your members and the local community in golf participation programs is a great way to retain the enthusiasm of existing members and to attract new members to your club.
Golf Australia has a number of programs designed to increase participation in golf that can be adopted at your club. In addition to the national programs, a number of states and territories run their own participation programs and activities so check their web sites for details.

Some of the policies rely on the Member Protection Policy to enforce compliance.
