The English Golf Union Limited (EGU) has served as the governing body of male amateur golf in England since it was founded in 1924. 

The EGU works to increase the interest and participation in golf through their golf development programme 'Get into Golf' which includes initiatives to promote the game to both juniors and adults. 

The EGU organises all the major men's English amateur championships including the English Amateur, the English Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship (the Brabazon Trophy) and other International matches hosted by England.

The EGU maintains a uniform system of handicapping, administering and applying the Rules approved by the Council of National Golf Unions.
