Why Measurement is Crucial:
  • Improvement through Data: "You can 't improve what you don't measure.” By collecting and analyzing data on the diversity of golf participants, we can identify areas needing improvement, set benchmarks, and track progress over time.
  • Policy and Program Effectiveness: Data helps in evaluating the effectiveness of policies and programs designed to enhance diversity and inclusion. Without measurement, it's challenging to determine what works and what doesn't.
  • Transparency and Accountability:Regular reporting on diversity metrics fosters transparency and holds organizations accountable to their commitments to inclusion.
Implementing Integolf's Diversity Measurement Program:
  • Data Collection: Collect data on participants' demographics (age, gender, race, socioeconomic status) during online bookings
  • Analysis:Analyze the data to identify trends,gaps, and areas for improvement.
  • Reporting: Publish regular reports on the findings to stakeholders and the public, demonstrating a commitment to diversity and inclusion.
  • Action Plans: Help Golf Nova Scotia to develop and implement action plans based on the data to address identified disparities and promote greater inclusion.

By linking the measurement of diversity in golf to the broader objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we emphasize the sport's potential to become a pioneering force in advancing Golf Canada's and global efforts to reduce inequalities, achieve gender equality, promote quality education, and foster inclusive economic growth.
