Volunteers ARE LIKE GOLD FOR KENT

*WANTED* JUNIOR ACADEMY & EVENT HELPERS

We are looking for volunteers to assist at Kent Golf events and junior academies throughout the County.

Why would I volunteer, you ask? Read the testimonials below:

1) "Why do I volunteer? because it's fun!
It's great helping out with youngsters, seeing them getting into golf. And it is good fun meeting new people, seeing new places... a day out from my normal routine!
And bottom line, it's a really great team to work with!"

2) “I’ve been a volunteer with Kent Golf for two years, which is a role that I find rewarding. It gives me an opportunity to put something back into the game of golf. It enables me to help support and develop the new generation of golfers, work with Kent golfers of all ages and skills, and see the talent we have in the County. It is also helping me develop my Rules knowledge with a view to becoming a Rules Official. If you like to get out in the fresh air a few times a year, visit golf courses across Kent, meet many golfers, and work with a team of friendly volunteers, then I'd recommend it."
