GUI, ILGU consult members on merger

A bid to unite golf in Ireland under one governing body could move a step closer with the involvement of key stakeholders in the game in the next two months.

The Irish Ladies’ Golf Union (ILGU) and the Golfing Union of Ireland (GUI) announced they would be holding exploratory talks about a merger in May 2015, with the aim of creating “one governing body to serve the game of golf, and its players and clubs, into the future”.

A result of those discussions is that both the ILGU and GUI have identified the need to consult with their various stakeholders.
