The International Pitch and Putt Association (IPPA) is the governing body for the sport of Pitch and Putt in the world.
IPPA was founded on 2 April 2009 in Madrid and includes all organizations that develop and maintain the sport of Pitch & Putt at a national and international level. IPPA is a non profit organization.
IPPA aspires to contribute to the global expansion of Pitch & Putt by establishing a close relationship between Pitch and Putt, Golf and other relevant sports organizations. IPPA defines Pitch and Putt as Golf with a difference and views Pitch and Putt as a speciality of golf.
IPPA's ambition is to promote the competitive sport of Pitch and Putt internationally by organizing competitions at the highest level, as well as activities of a cultural nature and promoting the development of youth participation in the sport.
The Founding members of IPPA are Association Française de Pitch & Putt (AFPP), Real Federación Española de Golf (RFEG), Federazione Italiana Pitch and Putt (FIP&P), Federação Portuguesa de Golfe (FPG) , Federazione Sammarinese Golf (FSG) and Danish Pitch and Putt Union (DPPU). DPPU decided in December 2010 to go independent and therefore resigned as a member.
