At Girton Golf Club, we take immense pride in being a member of the Cambridgeshire Area Golf Union (CAGU). This partnership is more than just a formal affiliation—it reflects our commitment to supporting the growth of golf in our county, providing opportunities for our members, and upholding the values of the game.
Supporting Countywide Golf Development
CAGU plays a vital role in developing and promoting amateur golf throughout Cambridgeshire. By being a member, Girton Golf Club helps sustain this mission. The Union organises county championships, inter-club leagues, and development programs for juniors, men, and seniors. Our involvement ensures that golf in Cambridgeshire remains vibrant, accessible, and competitive for players of all abilities.
Access to County Competitions and Teams
Membership in CAGU gives Girton members opportunities to compete in officially sanctioned county events, leagues, and knockouts. Talented players can aspire to represent Cambridgeshire in inter-county matches, while club teams test themselves against others in local competitions. These experiences strengthen the bonds between clubs and raise the standard of play.
Pathways for Junior Golfers
Supporting the next generation is central to our mission at Girton. Through CAGU, juniors gain access to coaching programs, matches, and competitions that help them develop their skills and love for the game. We’re proud to play our part in encouraging young golfers to reach their potential and become lifelong ambassadors for the sport.
Course Rating and Handicapping Support
As a member club, we benefit from CAGU’s expertise in course rating and support with the World Handicap System. Accurate and fair handicapping is essential to the enjoyment and integrity of golf. CAGU’s work ensures our course remains rated to modern standards and our members’ handicaps stay valid and portable worldwide.
