Follow on Google News | David Evennett, Minister for Sport, Tees Off National Golf MonthBy: National Golf Month National Golf Month (NGM) launched yesterday (27th April) at the House of Commons, helped by Sports Minister, David Evennett. The initiative, which runs throughout May, aims to inspire 100,000 new players to #getgolfing, with a particular focus on getting more women and young people to take up the sport. The launch included a chipping and putting competition in the Palace of Westminster for MPs, Peers and school children. Operated through Parliament's All-Party Group for Golf, the body responsible for 'promoting the sport of golf', the day also gave MPs the opportunity to learn more about the sport in their constituencies. NGM is a BGIA (British Golf Industry Association) The R&A also supports the initiative, their CEO, Martin Slumbers, said 'I am very much looking forward to National Golf Month and the opportunities it provides to showcase the sport. A Parliamentary launch is both welcome and important since it promotes the game so widely'.
