A new scholarship programme, funded through The R&A Foundation, by Club members, has been designed to provide a unique opportunity for up to talented individuals to fulfil their career ambitions by participating in a potentially life-changing leadership-focussed experience.
Specifically, at least one scholarship is available for a young person in the field of agronomy and/or sustainable golf. This provides an unprecedented opportunity to support a future leader in this field.
As a lead in sustainability in your respective organisations I hope you might be willing to share this opportunity with anyone you feel might be interested in it.

Through mentorship, education and training the programme will help these individuals to enhance their skills and knowledge, enabling them to become the next generation of leaders.
