Today I am speaking with Phoebe Torrance. Phoebe is the Women's Golf and Development Manager at The Metropolitan Golf Club in Melbourne, Australia.

This was a super interesting conversation which gave me some ideas of tactics to implement to make golf clubs more inclusive and welcoming to get more women into golf. It can be a tricky proposition running coaching programmes to bring new members into private members clubs but Phoebe has done a fantastic job and there are lots of ideas that can help clubs attract a more diverse group of members to join their clubs.

Thoughts and reflections

• Golf clubs are intimidating places for people to arrive at for the first time. Clear signage and great instructions are very important to make people feel comfortable and welcome.
• Can coaching programmes act as a "trial" for membership for people who are unsure on being able to commit the financial sums required to join great golf clubs. This can be a difficult decision to make when you are new to the game and have other life commitments.
• Have a single point of contact that participants can reach out to with questions.
