I have been speaking to many golf resorts and member owned clubs over the summer in my role as Sales Manager here at GolfClubSubs.
It is fairly obvious to say that many of the clubs face the challenge of attracting new members, maintaining the existing membership base, and generating income, often in the face of increasing financial pressure.
We (GolfClubSubs) are the leading specialist in all three stages of managing golf membership. Our best in class membership and finance system is designed from the ground up to help clubs:
๐งฒ Attract more members
โ

• Utilise downloadable and printable QR codes for inclusion in marketing materials or display them around the club, allowing potential members to apply via their mobile devices.
• Leverage system dashboard intelligence to identify and address demographic gaps, enabling targeted marketing campaigns.

CEO & Lead Developer
"I created GolfClubSubs for 2 reasons. Firstly, as a keen golfer and software developer it frustrated me that my own golf club was still sending out paper renewal letters in the post, meaning I had to drive up to the club to make my annual subs payment when everything else I could handle on my phone.
The second reason was closer to home as my club didn't offer an affordable way for me to spread the cost over the year, which became a priority when my second child came into the picture! They said it would be too much admin, so I decided to solve the admin headache both for my club and for myself as the member / user.
Each day as a developer is about solving problems and building something that wasn't there before. I have loved seeing the direct impact of our work and helping golf clubs across the UK & Ireland develop and grow their membership base."
My LinkedIn Profile
Sales & Account Manager
My golf journey has been interesting to say the least, with most of it documented on my YouTube channel. I have shot a 58 on a simulator and remain at the time of writing this The Open champion for 2022 yet I have never broken 80 outdoors, much to the amusement of those around me! I freely admit to being a golf addict and as a right handed golfer who currently putts left handed with a broomstick putter I am certainly not your typical golfer.
Opening up access to the game of golf is something I have always been passionate about and to combine my experience from 18+ years of IT sales and account management with my passion for golf is a very natural, and exciting step for me. I will continually strive to understand your needs and to be relied upon to look after your best interest at all times."

HR & Legal
"I'm more of a beginner golfer and looking forward to getting into it more. Having grown up in a golfing family I can see how much a club means to the members and I love being part of making that member - club relationship work for our clients.
My role in HR and Legal involves making our workplace as productive and pleasant as possible. It's a great feeling to know I've made a positive impact on someone's day."
