Message from the President It is an honour for me to be serving as your President for my second year. I shall endeavour to direct the Union in the manner in which it was originally intended and I have been presented with an enthusiastic body of volunteers. All have agreed to serve on the Executive and I look forward to working closely with them. One of our main efforts during 2008 away from the actual golf and coaching ete, is to improve the communications between the County Union and the clubs. So many exciting avenues are opening up through the efforts of the E.G.U. that we feel our clubs are not fully aware of what can be accomplished with schemes such as Golf Central,Academies and grants which are available to encourage new player's into the game of golf. Our County team in 2007 just missed out on the Northern counties championship again. I am confident that they will succeed in 2008 and bring the title back to Cumbria, In My opinion no other County Union has players with such an enthusiastic attitude to team golf.Come on Team Cumbria,you can do it in 2008 May I wish all of you, a satisfying and successful year with both your club and personal golf during 2008. John Holliday, President |

NEW FOR 2008
CUMBRIA GOLF PARTNERSHIP
WHY NOT VISIT THE C.G.P. HOME PAGE FOR THE LATEST INFORMATION.
Golf is set to flourish in Cumbria with the formation of The Cumbria Golf Partnership.
The Partnership will see an exciting approach to the development of the game in Cumbria as local knowledge; experience and resources are combined and shared by local golfing organisations working together as a team.
The Partnership consists of a steering committee with two representatives from each of the two main golfing organisations in Cumbria , The Cumbria Union of Golf Clubs (CUGC) and The Cumbria Ladies County Golf Association (CLCGA). The committee will also have representatives from the North East/North West County Professional Golfer's Association (PGA), The English Golf Union/English Women's Golf Association (EGU/EWGA), The Golf Foundation and Cumbria Sport.
Through this joint approach Golf in Cumbria has greater potential to draw in external support in particular through Sport England and Cumbria Sport. This approach is integral to England Golf Partnership's vision to “Grow the game” and The English Golf Union's vision to make England the world's leading golf nation by 2020.
The English Golf Union (EGU) and English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) along with Sport England have allocated The Cumbria Golf Partnership a minimum of £54,500 [ as at April 2008] to devise and implement a structured development plan for golf in Cumbria over the next 3 years. The plan consisting of three main sections ‘Start', ‘Stay' and ‘Succeed' will cover all aspects of the game from grassroots participation through to elite county squad players.
Some of the main aims of The Cumbria Golf Partnership will be
• To promote the game of golf and increase peoples awareness of golf in Cumbria
• To attract more people to the sport of golf irrespective of ability, age, gender or race
• To increase the number of players playing golf in Cumbria
• To assist Cumbrian golf clubs to increase their membership numbers
• To facilitate links between golf clubs, driving ranges, businesses, sports centres schools and colleges to enable golf to become a core sport in Cumbria
• To help improve the standard of golfers within Cumbria
• To help train and support coaches and volunteers
• To establish a repository of standards and best practice
