FURTHER INFORMATION

If your club has no appointed Kent Representative, please discuss this with Kent Golf, as we are very keen to ensure that all Clubs are represented and receive regular information relating to County events, competitions, etc. Representatives can then share this information with their fellow members.

We are often asked if a Club should have a Representative from the Men’s or Women’s Section, or if it’s possible for one Representative to represent both. In short, we do not mind, so long as there is someone happy to assume this role and ensure that information is forwarded to members to make them aware of what we do and the competitions we offer for all members, not just the elite.
