The three London golf courses owned by The Bridgedown Group, The Shire London, Inspiration Club and The West London Golf Centre, have joined forces to introduce of a points-based pass that will give golfers access to all three venues. The motivation behind this new style of membership is to adapt to the changing habits of golfers since the pandemic. “Golf membership is changing, and so are the needs of golfers, so rather than sit still, we decided to adapt by offering a new flexible membership,” explains Tony Menai-Davis. “There is a section of the golfing community that doesn’t want to pay large joining fees or heavy subscriptions and be tied down to a traditional membership.  The beauty of our flexible format is that golfers can now choose from three superb golf courses that are different, yet equally exciting.  A flexible membership doesn’t tie them down and won’t make them feel guilty for not getting value out of a normal membership structure.” The Bridgedown Collection flexible membership is points-based, with each tee time booking assigned a value according to the day of the week, time of day, and choice of course.

Golf Industry Soars: Tapping into Tourism and Tech Trends The golf industry is experiencing significant growth, particularly in the golf tourism sector, which is expected to increase revenue substantially over the next few years. Several factors drive this growth, including the rising popularity of golf as a leisure activity and the demand for unique travel experiences. Golf clubs are adapting to this trend by implementing innovative technologies, such as integrated mobile solutions, to enhance the overall experience for golfers. KemperSports, a prominent golf management company, is at the forefront of this industry transformation. By making strategic hires and partnerships, KemperSports is expanding its portfolio of managed courses, as evidenced by renaming the Canal Shores Golf Course to The Evans at Canal Shores and the appointment of Josh Ward as VP of new business development. These moves demonstrate KemperSports' commitment to staying ahead of industry trends and providing its clients with the best possible services and offerings. For golf course owners, staying informed about these industry developments is crucial. By understanding the growth in areas like golf tourism and adopting new technologies, they can make informed decisions to enhance their business operations and attract more golfers. The success of KemperSports' initiatives serves as a model for other golf course owners to follow as they seek to capitalize on the expanding opportunities within the golf industry. #golf #pga #gcoa #ccma #gcsaa #scga #scpga #ricmooregolf
