During January 2022, a total of eight joint regional meetings of the Asociace golfových hřiš't (AGH) took place.
The goal of the meetings was to activate golf course owners and operators for mutual cooperation under a common association. The regional meetings were very productive and brought up many interesting topics to address. Although there were differences between regions, course sizes, and clienteles, this did not prevent finding agreement across all courses, their owners, and operators for mutual cooperation and seeking common ground.
The purpose and goal of AGH were successfully formulated. Upon finding mutual agreement, AGH has the chance to become a strong and independent association, a worthy partner of all entities in Czech and international golf, and last but not least, a strong and respected partner for state organizations, significantly influencing the development of golf in the Czech Republic.
A total of 69 owners or operators out of 108 possible attended the meetings either physically or online. Many topics were discussed, and the opportunity to express opinions was given not only to meeting participants but also to other interested parties through a structured questionnaire.
A total of 55 entities expressed interest in becoming members of AGH, up from the original 17 members.
The next step in the joint negotiations will be the general meeting of the Asociace golfových hřiš't, planned for the end of March 2022. On the agenda, besides the formal acceptance of new members, will be the program and organization of activities of the newly emerging strong group.
