TAVISTOCK Golf Club has been awarded GolfMark accreditation (high achiever) by demonstrating their hard work and dedication to both junior and beginner's golf. 

The English Golf Union (EGU) and English Women's Golf Association (EWGA) developed the GolfMark award to identify and acknowledge golf facilities in England that were junior and beginner friendly

The GolfMark award also integrates Sport England's Clubmark award — a national standard for quality sports clubs recognised across the country. 

There are a number of benefits that golf clubs can gain by achieving GolfMark accreditation, including increased membership, raising the club's profile, further development of coaches and volunteers and greater access to funding. 

GolfMark evaluates golf clubs on coaching and playing; club environment, including sports equity and ethics; child protection and duty of care.

EGU and EWGA development officers continually conduct assessment meetings, offering advice and guidance to golf clubs on how to further enhance their junior sections and beginners initiatives as well as develop best practices.

The weather prevented the Tavistock lady veterans from playing golf so they put their talents to making Christmas decorations!
