WE ARE PROUD SIGNATORIES TO THE WOMEN IN GOLF CHARTER 

The Women in Golf Charter is an R&A initiative supported by England Golf to encourage more women and  girls into the sport. The Charter aims to challenge some of the negative stereotypes attached to golf, create  inclusive golf club cultures and open the game up to women and girls of all ages.The appeal of the Women in                Golf Charter to Clitheroe GC is based around the family-centred approach of the initiative, making golf  accessible to all women, including those who work full-time, and encouraging more girls to get into the sport,  which can foster life long friendships and prove a really fun game to play.  

''In 2021 our commitments and plans around the Women in Golf Charter have been successful in attracting more women and girls to Clitheroe Golf Club. We would strongly encourage anyone interested to sign up for our future taster sessions so they can see for themselves how great the game of golf truly is".  KIRSTY FIELD,  Clitheroe's Women In Golf Charter "Champion."                                                         

    KIRSTY FIELD,  our Women in Golf Charter Champion.  

Kirsty has played golf for over 20 years. She is passionate about the game and  thankful for the many great experiences,   adventures and friendships it has afforded her.  Having been involved in the game from all aspects, as a Welsh International to a Girls High School Coach, she has seen first-hand the joy golf can bring to people's lives.   Alongside Kirsty is an enthusiastic  Working Group, all committed to creating an inclusive and welcoming culture at Clitheroe, making golf accessible to all women and girls, whether they want to play competitively,   socially, or are just in pursuit of a new hobby!
