Benefits of EGCOA membership:

LEGISLATIVE ADOCACY:
The EGCOA influences laws that govern at the European level on behalf of the golf industry, and often in concert with our allied associations. With the shift of decision making from the national to the European level and the growing role of the EU in legislative matters, the role of the EGCOA as protector of interest is increasing every moment. We also offer a multitude of resources that guide our members on European legislative issues affecting them.
