GOLF ADVENTURE LEISURE NINJA LEISURE ESTATES PARTNERS BGL Golf is proud to be associated with the following association partners: The Golf Federation (Previously known as UKGCOA) BGL Chief Executive, Colin Mayes was the first Chairman of the UKGCOA (UK Golf Course Owners Association). Now known as The Golf Federation, they revised it in June 2018 with its main aim of improving open access to golf for everyone. This has two main strands: 1. To help golfers find user-friendly venues 2. To help and support venues providing open access to golfers The UK Golf Federation grew from the UKGCOA, whose board members will continue to guide UK Golf Federation for the foreseeable future. The UKGCOA realised that it needed to be more focused on customers rather than its past concerns in the golf world. The UKGCOA undertook a comprehensive review resulting in the formation of the UK Golf Federation. Golfers registering will initially be offered: 1. A free newsletter 2. Special offers from welcoming courses 3. Other special deals 4. Special events exclusively held at UK Golf Federation venues For further information about The Golf Federation, click here.
