The GGU
The Glasgow Golf Union, founded in 1955, is tasked with the development of golf in the Glasgow Area. The principal role of the Union is to provide assistance to Clubs in helping them maintain and grow their membership as well as developing golfing talent that can succeed at local and national levels.
We also act as a liaison between Scottish Golf and member clubs while providing the survey of courses for course rating and offer advice to Clubs on a number of subjects. Competitions are held annually for the elite golfer to the handicap player.
The Constitution of the Glasgow Golf Union may be viewed below:
GGU Constitution (latest version June 2017)
Please note:
The revised constitution is displayed for information and any feedback as part of the agreed amalgamation process making our constitution gender neutral along with the caveat that this will be tabled at the 2017 AGM for approval in October.
Since 1955 The GGU have been fortunate to have had so many great golf administrators.
Without their dedication and hard work the Union would not have survived the last 60 years.
