NGU and NLCGA prepare to merge in 2015

A merger between the Northamptonshire Golf Union and the Northamptonshire Ladies County Golf Association moved a step closer after the two organisations set out their proposals to all the county clubs.
The NGU and NLCGA, who currently just look after men’s and ladies amateur golf respectively in this county, believe a new all-inclusive body will be a huge benefit to all golfers within Northamptonshire.
With additional funding opportunities available from England Golf, who are keen to bring all men’s and ladies county golf organisations together, Northants are one of the forerunners in the merger.
NGU President Dave Foley said: “There will now be a period of consultation between ourselves and the clubs, so that any queries raised at their respective AGM’s can be answered."
This will lead to a set of formal proposals being put forward at EGMs for both the NGU and NLCGA, which will be held at the same time early next year.
"If these proposals are agreed, the two bodies will then merge into a single body, called Northamptonshire Golf Limited, which will oversee all amateur golf throughout this county for the start of the new golf season in 2015.”
