At the heart of IPPA’s mission is the desire to support nations around the world provide a strong infrastructure to support the growth and development of the game.
IPPA recognises that federations vary in size and structure. Some nations deliver just one competition; others host multiple activities across a number of age ranges, culminating in national representative teams.

Irrespective of the size and scope of the federation, it is critical a federation is managed effectively for the benefit of those who wish to play Pitch & Putt.
There are many responsibilities for federation committees as they seek to ensure that their federation provides the highest quality environment for its members and complies with both national and international standards of good governance practice. These include but are not limited to financial management, equality compliance, strategic planning and development, and welfare and safeguarding.
