Abstract
Golf instruction within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and reland has traditionally been delivered by PGA Professionals. However, the desire of governments for sports to address a wider social agenda has led to an overhaul of the coaching and coach education driven by the recommendations of a Coaching Task Force. The development of a five-level structure for coaching and a formalized and standardised coach education programme known as the United Kingdom Coaching Certificate (UKCC) was the result of these recommendations. Within golf, this development was led by the PGA of Great Britain and Ireland in partnership with the other governing bodies from the amateur game. The background to the UKCC, the macro- and meso-political issues and the solutions adopted by golf are discussed within this paper
