The Role of a Club Delegate

Go to the bottom of this page for the Club Delegate Registration form.

If your club has no appointed Club Delegate, please do discuss this with us as we are very keen to ensure that all Clubs are represented and receive regular information from us at Kent Golf that relates to County events, competitions and the like – they can then share this information with their fellow members. We are often asked if a Club should have a Delegate from the Men’s or Women’s Section or can one Delegate represent both. In short, we do not mind, so long as there is someone happy to assume this role and ensure that information is passed along and members are aware of what we do and the competitions we offer for all members and not just the elite.
