Personally sick to death being told by Administrators how to behave in my ever-decreasing free time playing golf. These DEI, social engineering obsessive officers have somehow taken control of organisations such as England Golf and in doing so forced their warped ideology down onto the golf clubs they are supposed to be representing https://www.englandgolf.org/equality-diversity-and-inclusion

By threatening affiliated clubs with withdrawal of WHS rights should they not sign up to the latest edicts is tantamount to coercion & bullying, truly Marxist in behaviour.

Not sure about replacing EG with another umbrella body, but I'm of the opinion golf clubs in this country need to stand up against this forced ideology.
Which bit of the policy do you object to?

Have to say I would be perfectly happy with a locally administered trustworthy and accurate handicap rather than the current claptrap.
Couldn't give a damn if its not valid in Timbuktu.
Don’t you do that with your mates on the first tee now (negotiating strokes regardless of posted handicaps)? “I’m not giving you x shots!” 👎

Personally, I would have no issue with the substance of the policy, but would take issue with the force feeding of it to clubs.
I doubt somehow that clubs demanded of EG that they implement such a programme, make it obligatory, and threaten sanctions for clubs whondont have it implemented by a deadline. It sounds more like an out of control bureaucracy justifying its own existence and imposing on its constituent members rather then solely being implementers of clubs will.

So apart from timing and sanctions, which bits do you object to?
