Golfliitto

Golfliitto is the national governing body for the sport of golf in Finland. It represents Finnish golf clubs, associations, and players and acts as the central authority for the sport in the country. The organization works to promote participation and excellence, oversee competition, and coordinate activities from grassroots to the elite level.

Key responsibilities include administering the national handicap system, organizing national championships and rankings, and overseeing rules and formats of play. It provides education for officials, coaches, and referees, and supports development programs for youth, women, and clubs to broaden participation and raise skill levels.

Golfliitto operates through its member clubs and regional associations. It maintains relationships with national sports authorities and, in the international arena, adheres to the Rules of Golf and the World Handicap System to ensure consistent play across Finland and beyond.

Through these activities, Golfliitto aims to foster sustainable growth of golf in Finland, improve accessibility, and promote fair play, integrity, and sportsmanship across all levels of play.
