Received my copy of Golf Monthly today. As I expected, the letter I wrote in December was letter of the month. 6 dozen Pro V1s, thank you very much.
I knew when I wrote it that it had a good chance. I've had a bee in my bonnet for a long time that clubs are doing it wrong trying to attract young members. What I'm sure would be effective is trying to reach members of sports clubs who are getting too old for their chosen sports. I used to play rugby, cricket & tennis at a local club & many of the former members from 50 years ago I now see on the golf course.
Once a sportsman, always a sportsman. Go after the older folks with a bit of disposable income. Younger players are always more likely to be "pay & play"
