Partner Spotlight: Global Golf Post

 

 

The International Association of Golf Administrators (IAGA) and Global Golf Post (GGP) have been making strides in the world of golf. In 2022, GGP rejoined IAGA after recognizing the association’s evolution under Bill Walker’s leadership. This move has given GGP multiple opportunities to offer its services to IAGA members.

“Global Golf Post is a proud IAGA partner and excited to offer so many benefits to IAGA member AGAs,” Jim Nugent, CEO of Global Golf Post, said. “This year, we’re excited to be launching GGPWomen and can’t wait to work with the IAGA and its member associations to grow the representation of women’s golf in the media.”

However, GGP doesn’t just aim to provide services to IAGA members. They are also striving to change the lack of representation of women’s golf in the media with the launch of GGPWomen.

GGPWomen aims to showcase the best stories in women’s golf, promoting and celebrating the achievements of women in the sport. The website ggpwomen.com will serve as the platform for this initiative.
