If you organise a golf day, how many times have you invited someone - your best customer or client, for instance - only to find that they actually don’t play golf?
How many times have you invited guests and their answer is that they only play once or twice per year?
Have you witnessed golfers coming off of the course having had a terrible round because they don’t play enough?
Most people like to try something new and although golf can seem quite daunting to the non-player “Golf in a Day” is full of fun and gives everyone involved a sense of achievement. You might also end up with a client who will remember your invite forever more. All of your guests arrive at the club and are welcomed together in the Clubhouse, whereupon the golfers go out to play the Course and the non-golfers are introduced to the Professional staff.
The staff in our teaching Academy have put together a day schedule that allows the ‘would like to be’ player as well as the part-time player the chance to experience a great day out and learn the basics of the game. They also play in a tournament over our six-hole Academy Course at the end of the day to allow them to put into practice what they have learnt, before rejoining the golfers for your evening meal.
Throughout the course of the day your whole party (experienced golfers or otherwise) gets to make the most out of the Kendleshire, enjoy your hospitality and remember your day for a long time.
