On our latest Trending Topics with England Golf, we explore two key areas of its operations, Championships where we're joined by James Crampton and Rules, with Sam Barker-Sabido.

England Golf run many Championships throughout the year at all levels. James talks about what's involved in applying for an event, hosting an event and the benefits and positive side-effects that can come with hosting one of these tournaments. Not all championships are at elite level and EG also host many handicap events. Towards the end of the episode, we're joined by Simon Williams, GM of Sherwood Forest GC, to tell us what it's like to host an EG Championship. Sherwood Forest have hosted many and Simon gives the inside view, from a club that has done so.

Sam Barker-Sabido also talks to us about the importance of his role within England Golf and stresses why clubs need to continually educate their members on the rules of Golf and what to know when holding competitions. There are many initiatives to assist with Rules education both for Golfers and also those who want to take on a "Rules" role within their club.
