NEW LGU CHAIRMAN
PAM CHUGG DETERMINED TO TAKE LADIES GOLF FORWARD
Pam Chugg assumed the office of Chairman of the Ladies’ Golf Union at the Annual General Meeting in Cardiff today. She will serve for a period of 12 months.
Mrs Chugg, 50, takes over the position after a lifetime in golf at the highest level where she played for Wales, her home country, between the ages of 17 and 40. During that period she had a five-year spell as a professional and was one of the founding members of the WPGA.
She was captain of the Welsh Ladies’ for three years starting in 2000 and was elected to the LGU Executive Council shortly after her captaincy ended. Her spell in the LGU included being Chairman of the Training Committee for two years.
Mrs Chugg views her year in office as an opportunity to continue the work of her predecessors in taking the LGU forward. In addition, following the publication of the review into ladies’ golf – ‘Research 2005’ – she is keen to ensure that the LGU and the Home Unions embrace the findings highlighted in the project document.
"I am determined to continue to put into action, our aims to take ladies’ golf forward and in particular, to bring more young people into the game. I am aware that there is a problem getting girls into golf and keeping them there. However we wish to bring into the game not only juniors but also young women in their twenties and thirties and in order to do that, we must encourage clubs to adopt a family friendly and more relaxed attitude. Now, with hard facts underlining what we had always suspected, we can assist governing bodies, clubs and individuals in ensuring that ladies golf has an assured future."
Mrs Chugg still plays to a handicap of 4 at Whitchurch, her home club and at Royal Porthcawl where she is also a member.
She lives at Cowbridge with her husband Mike, also a member at Porthcawl.
