Here\u2019s something worth noting \u2013 the members of England\u2019s male and female amateur golf associations have agreed to merge into a single governing body. According to the organization, the move \u201cwill help us to grow the game and will be more appealing to commercial partners and sponsors and will mean we can be more cost effective.\u201d The new group is set to be called England Golf as of Jan. 1.<\/p>\n
The move doesn\u2019t suggest we should eliminate women\u2019s tees or that men should play on women\u2019s tours and vice versa. It\u2019s notable in that it recognizes that we all walk the same fairways, we all stand in sand traps, we all struggle with this great game. With golf and all sports, it doesn\u2019t matter your gender. All that matters is that you enjoy the game.<\/p>\n<\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Here\u2019s something worth noting \u2013 the members of England\u2019s male and female amateur golf associations have agreed to merge into a single governing body.
