Boland Ladies Golf Union Transformation Charter ( ) 1 The Transformation Charter

Boland Ladies Golf Union Transformation Charter ( ) 2 Introduction Because of a widespread and common understanding and acceptance of the need for golf to transform, Boland Ladies Golf has adopted the custodianship of this transformation charter. Ownership of the charter needs to be embraced by the broader golfing fraternity in South Africa and all golfing stakeholders need to be active participants in the implementation of the goals of the charter.

Boland Ladies Golf Union Transformation Charter ( ) 3 Preamble Boland Ladies Golf accept that the Transformation Charter for golf is different from other sports for the following reasons: Wide age range of participants Detachment between social, competitive & professional play Spectator participation Cost of equipment, amenities & facilities Perceptions around societal status of participants Social player to competitive player ratio inversely proportional to that of other sports

Boland Ladies Golf Union Transformation Charter ( ) 4 SRA “Transformation is a conscious, deliberate, planned and goal-directed process of fundamentally changing conditions that in the past have led to the deliberate exclusion of the majority of our people from meaningful participation in sport and recreation and from taking their rightful place in the sports movements of the world.” SAGA WGSA “ Transformation is a consciously planned process of creating conditions and opportunities that in the future will lead to the inclusion of any South African in meaningful participation in golf, both socially and competitively and thus enabling them to earn their rightful place in the golfing community of the world. Boland Ladies “ Transformation is a consciously planned process of creating conditions and opportunities that in the future will lead to the inclusion of any South African within the jurisdiction of the Boland Province in meaningful participation in golf, both socially and competitively and thus enabling them to earn their rightful place in the golfing community of the world.”
