Nick’s first official engagement as President came at London Golf Club, where the Golf Foundation was celebrating its 70th anniversary by presenting awards to those who have made a major difference in growing junior golf across the UK.
“It feels like wonderful timing that Nick, who has already been a creative force for our charity, has accepted the role as President,” said Stephen Lewis, Chairman of the Golf Foundation. “We are quite sure his clear passion for golf, and the fun and inclusive way in which he welcomes everyone into the sport as equals, will be a massive help for us in introducing more youngsters from all backgrounds into the game. We are all delighted with this appointment.
Dougherty will follow recently outgoing President of seven years Sandy Jones, the former Chief Executive of the PGA, whose love of the game and his influence throughout golf has done so much for the charity – and Lewis was also keen to stress the Foundation’s thanks to Sandy, who served so well as President in his term.
“Sandy has been a long-time supporter of the Golf Foundation,” explained Lewis. “He has always been such a great advocate for our work in bringing a new, younger generation to the sport. We would like to thank Sandy for all that he has done for the Golf Foundation.”
