Get your voice heard
Without our voice in government, the specific concerns of the UK golf industry could get overlooked as we leave the EU. We are working with our members and UK Government to influence the EU-UK Free Trade Agreement in the matters that specifically affect the golfing industry, like standards, rules of origin, tariffs and customs.
