The club received the Critchley Award in recognition of the range of initiatives it employed to engage the diverse community of Croydon in 2018. These included projects targeting young people from disadvantaged backgrounds or with disabilities, teenage girls who were reluctant to be involved in sport and developing the club’s first coaching partnership with an Islamic School where only 2 of the 85 children who took part had ever played golf.
