Golf Development Wales was established as a result of Wales’ successful Ryder Cup Bid. It is the development arm of the Golf Union of Wales and is a strategic partnership between the Golf Union of Wales, the Golf Foundation and the Sport Wales. It is also supported by Ryder Cup Wales 2010 Ltd and The Professional Golfers Association. To find out what they do we interviewed Zoe Thacker, Development Officer for South Wales. More information about the numerous courses and events can be found at www.golfdevelopmentwales.org
