Safeguarding policies and procedures – Children and young adults / Safeguarding policies and procedures – Vulnerable adults I wanted to write to you about a subject which unites everyone in golf – namely that there is nothing more important than keeping young people and other vulnerable groups safe. It is vital that everyone not only has fun playing golf and developing their skills, but that they also feel protected within all areas of the game.

In order to achieve this, Trent Park Golf Club has undertaken the following:Adoption of the England Golf Junior and Young Adult Safeguarding PolicyEnsuring that appropriate safeguarding procedures are in placeAdoption and use of the set procedures for the recruitment and deployment of…See More

My memories of a wonderful golf club – some great yearsThe Trent Park Golf Club (TPGC) was founded in 1974, although I can only talk about my time at the club from 2010 when things were very different. The 1st hole was a par 5 then, although I know previously it was a par 4. We had a club house, where we would meet to enjoy a fry up before we played our game – (remember Brendan?) and then we would meet in the bar afterwards to talk over a pint or two and how well we played.
