Each task force is chaired by an Executive Board member and has a Special Advisor who provides guidance. Members are experts in various areas in the golf ecosystem and they contribute by bringing perspectives and insights to SGA.

The Golf Industry Development Task Force (GIDTF) consists of leaders and experts in various industries to advise and provide feedback, and develop strategies that will foster the growth and development of the golf industry in Singapore. The task force will identify and address challenges facing the industry, as well as develop and advise on implementation of ideas and solutions that will improve the golf ecosystem in Singapore.

The Athlete Development Pathway Task Force (ADPTF) provides advice to the SGA on matters relating to elite golfers, who have represented Singapore at major international competitions, on their entire pathway from development to competition and career opportunities after retirement.
