ASHFORD MANOR GOLF CLUB

The R&A Women in Golf Charter

Our aim is to increase the number of women and girls playing and working in golf.
To achieve this goal and to enable women to flourish throughout golf, we recognise the need for a shift in culture. There is a need for change and the potential benefits of growing the sport through more women and girls participating in golf at Ashford Manor Golf Club is key to the success of the club.
The R&A commits to playing a leading role in this process and to working with affiliates, partners, and the wider golf industry towards achieving this goal.
