In May 2018, The R&A launched the women in golf charter, with the aim to increase women and girls participation and membership in golf, encourage more families to enjoy golf as a leisure activity and encourage more opportunities for women to work in the golf industry.The women in Golf Charter specifically aims to:
• Strengthen the focus on gender balance and provide a united position for the golf industry
• Commit national federations and organisations to support measures targeted at increasing participation of women, girls and families in golf
• Call upon signatories to take positive action to support the recruitment, retention and progression of women working at all levels of the sport
• Set individual targets for national associations for participation and membership and reporting progress annually
• Develop an inclusive environment for women and girls within golf.
Fraserburgh golf club is proud to have signed the charter as part of the clubs aim to grow female and family membership and overall membership numbers. Over the next two months the committee will develop a plan and agree our commitments which will set out a number of actions. This update is to inform our members of the commitment and keep you updated on our progress. If you would like to get involved in supporting this initiative then please get in touch with the office. We look forward to updating you on our progress over the next couple of months where we can hopefully nurture the next Hannah Green pictured below who has links to Fraserburgh and is a female major Champion.
Here is the “Average Golfers” episode here at Fraserburgh which concluded his Scotlands less obvious series. We were fortunate enough to be chosen by Visit Aberdeenshire to feature in this series.
Im sure all will agree a great episode showcasing our wonderful Corbiehill course.
A huge well done to all involved and special mention to Committee Member Eddie McDonald who led on this and hosted Andy during his time at the club.
"
Challenging Links Course One of only 18 golf clubs in the world that can trace its origins to the 18th century, Fraserburgh Golf Club moved to Philorth in 1891 and has been playing there ever since. This is a real links course. The out nine are tough, especially in the north-east wind, but the back nine are very playable, with several interesting holes which require careful positioning. The clubhouse staff are very friendly"
