It is all about collaboration and working as one.
“The partnership between Staffordshire County Golf Partnership and Royal & Awesome is a perfect match, with both groups wanting to increase participation but also bring the fun element to the game and breakdown stereotypes that have been instilled for generations. Change is occurring with Staffordshire CGP breaking down barriers each day to raise awareness and bring more people into the sport.”
