A research report on volunteering in golf clubs
A chance to listen to the research findings about volunteering in golf clubs.
The in-depth study was commissioned by England Golf and carried out by Chris Mills as part of a PhD at Manchester Met University. It is the games first research report into volunteering in golf clubs.
The study presents two theoretical models that summarise how members become volunteers and how volunteers are then affected by their interaction with members.
At a time when golf clubs have attracted lots of new members, the recommendations are particularly relevant, advising golf clubs to develop effective strategies to retain members and encourage participation, not just among volunteers but across the whole membership.
