The Royal Norwich Golf Club has taken significant measures to make the sport more inclusive after appointing women to their four key roles.
The club has made huge strides in changing the image of golf over the last 18 months as part of a new campaign to get more women involved.
Royal Norwich has typically been male dominant since it opened in 1894, but the widespread changes have now led to ladies occupying the leading roles of club captain and president.
Angela Loveday accepts her appointment as the first female club captain will not please all members, but she is determined to win them over and prove that women can take on the big roles in a golfing environment.
She also hopes it will prompt a rise in the number of female participants, with Charley Hull currently one of only three English women in the top 100 of the world rankings.
