William, very good. I am unsure of how giving my company name makes any of this any clearer? We are a very reputable company within the industry known by and work with all of the major golf resorts in the UK. We operate all of the mystery visits for the major chain golf resorts in the UK and...
Exactly, I am talking about a £4k event for a Pharmaceutical company, inviting high net worth individuals (potential members) not even counting the bar spend for the day as well. They would probably take my commission just over the bar. I understand this wouldn't necessary be profit but would...
Markgs, money for nothing idiots.....nice comment! I am sure you can appreciate one of the most valuable assets for any human being is their time. Some people simply do not have the time. You go and organise a golf day for 100 people and you tell me how little time and stress it caused you...

Its funny, because like has been mentioned I could simply go to a lot of these venues get their price, go back and say my budget only allows £10 less per person, can we do a deal and they would say yes. Its just sad that it works that way rather than being truthful and building working...
I am really confused about the several comments made regards the golfers we book in are all hackers, slow golfers, and not the visitors that clubs really want. Our clients are no different to that of any other corporate or society groups a course may have. Beau D, I know your course well and I...
A very good point made, which is why you couldn't pay me enough money to be a secretary of a golf club, its almost as much as a thankless task as England manager!!
