Nick Dougherty praises BGIA's support for Golf Foundation's Unleash Your Swing initiative

A great message from Nick Dougherty, President of THE GOLF FOUNDATION, on the role golf can play in young people’s lives and the legacy we can create by giving more young people the opportunity to experience the game.

Speaking at The Open Industry Lunch, Nick also recognised the BGIA’s support for the Golf Foundation and #UnleashYourDrive - support made possible by our members through the Grow Golf Fund.

We’re proud to play our part and thank our members for helping to create a lasting legacy for the game.
