The T&T Golf Association will need to affiliate to the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee(TTOC) should the sport be confirmed as a 2016 Olympic sport.
The national sport organisation is not at this time a TTOC affiliate .Golf and Rugby 7s Olympic programme fate will be decided at the IOC meeting schedule for 2nd October in Copenhagen,Denmark.
The 13th Olympic Congress will be held 3-5 October. At the congress issues and concerns that can impact the future of the Olympic Games and the Olympic Movement in Society will be considered .Recommendations coming out of these discussions will be presented to the IOC Executive Board and membership for consideration and ,if deemed appropriate ,implementation.
TTOC president Larry Romany will lead the TTOC delegation attending the IOC Congress.Romany said that the inclusion of golf and rugby 7s on the Olympic programme will provide a boost to both sports. He is also expecting the election of the 2016 Olympic host city to have some drama.
There is the expectation that President Obama will be part of the Chicago bid presentation. Chicago will be foolhardy not to seek to do so."
Romany clarified that the voting for the Host city and inclusion on the Olympic programme will be done by the IOC membership not the IOC Congress.
"The TTOC 's participation is at the Congress as T&T doesn't have an IOC member.
