Governance
Golf Ireland is a company limited by guarantee (CLG). The main object for which the Company is established is to promote, administer and develop the game of golf on the island of Ireland. As part of its work, Golf Ireland will adopt the Sport Ireland Governance Code for Sport.
Golf Ireland will operate through a thirteen member Board of Directors as elected by our members at the National AGM. These Directors are the Chairperson, President, President Elect, four Regional Directors and six Nominated Directors. In relation to gender balance, there will be a minimum of four male and four female Directors at any time.
Golf Ireland will also be supported in its work by a sixteen member Regional Executive Committee in each region (i.e. Connacht, Leinster, Munster and Ulster). Each Regional Executive Committee consists of three Officers (Regional Chairperson, Regional Treasurer and Regional Secretary) and thirteen Ordinary Members. The members of each Regional Executive are elected by the clubs in their respective Regions at their individual Regional AGMs. In relation to gender balance, there will be a minimum of six male and six female Regional Executive Members at any time – including a minimum of one male and one female Officer.

The Governance Code for Sport
All LSPs, NGBs and other bodies in receipt of Government funding through Sport Ireland are required to adopt the Governance Code for Sport.
Meeting the requirement involves a firm commitment from the Boards of funded bodies to adopt the Code in spirit, in practice and to grow towards better governance practices which will make organisations more effective. By the 15th December 2021, Golf Ireland achieved full compliance with the Governance Code for Sport.
