Congratulations to Megan Grimwood  who has been nominated for the England Golf Young Person of the Year 2025 Award.

Megan became Junior Club Captain of Kirby Muxloe in 2024, showing her love of golf, and passing that love on to those younger than herself at her golf club. She also takes part in promoting golf through her school. For Bring it on Brum at the Masters at The Belfry, Megan led a team of adult volunteers from The R&A to deliver a golf skills festival for children on Birmingham’s Holiday Activity & Food Programme.

Megan enjoyed her first year in England Golf’s Young Ambassadors programme, and was part of the first cohort of ambassadors to meet and share ideas with the England Golf and Golf Foundation boards members. Through her engagement with the Young Ambassadors’ Board Connectivity Project, she is providing a voice for young people to help make golf more inclusive and accessible – currently developing a piece of work around the development of dress code recommendations for golf clubs. This project has also changed the perceptions of what young people are capable of, with positive feedback from the England Golf & Golf Foundation board members.

Megan represented the Young Ambassadors programme at the Youth Sport Trust’s Sport Sector Summit, exchanging ideas with other sports, while she co-presented the Young Person of the Year award at the Golf Foundation President’s Awards, following a day at the BMW PGA Championship where she helped lead activities in the junior golf zone.     Megan also assisted in the Young Ambassadors recruitment day, sharing her story, assisting the candidates, as well as assessing them and making recommendations back to the management team.

The awards process culminates in a gala awards ceremony that is taking place at the Hilton Manchester Deansgate on the evening of Wednesday 2nd April. We are all very proud of her and we wish Megan all the very best. Have a wonderful evening.
