Golfing is an inherently social undertaking It's how many of us spend time with friends and family, meet new people and engage with the broader local community. If I can't make a tee time, being able to easily had it off to a friend to play in your place is a great way to help reinforce friendships and help courses meet new golfers. That's why I feel that tee times at any course should be transferable to other golfers - what do you think? If you're a golfer, course operator or casual fairness theorist, leave your thoughts in the comments and tell us what you think. #golf #teetimes #values #fyp #golfmanagement

How we play Golf is changing. Alasdair Rae comments "gone are the days when one could easily spend six or seven hours on the course. Today’s busy schedules mean fewer people can commit to a full day of golf." 🏌️♂️ This shift is impacting clubs across Great Britain, particularly in the post-pandemic landscape. With varying membership costs and accessibility, attracting younger and more diverse members is becoming increasingly crucial. ⛳ At Custodian Golf, we’re diving deep into the data to understand these trends and help clubs adapt. Our latest research uncovers some surprising insights about the current state of golf memberships and the steps clubs need to take to secure their future. Curious about the full picture?

I've been doing some new and very interesting things relevant to planning, housing, land, data, and golf! Combining multiple professional and personal interests with Custodian Golf and uncovering some extremely useful and valuable data (as well as the odd bit of shocking data)

Augusta National is far more than a golf club, and it's far more than the site for one of the world's leading sporting events. Indeed, it is a one-of-its-kind organization that exemplifies excellence across a multitude of disciplines.  As I departed from Augusta over the weekend, I reflected on this special place that Jim Nanz aptly described on television as "a tradition unlike any other." (Augusta subsequently trademarked this phrase). Below are three observations that struck me as fundamental to Augusta's remarkable success. ✅  Attention to detail. At Augusta, every detail is attended to. From the perfect fairways, where not a single blade of grass appears out of place, to the spotless stands and the staff's service, nothing is overlooked. ✅  A vision unlike any other. Augusta was born in 1932 out of the dauntless vision of Bobby Jones (then an iconic US golfer) and British golf course architect Dr. Alister MacKenzie to be a leading national golf course that would host world-class competitions. The club's commitment to being the best is reflected in everything you see—from television coverage to positioning attendees as "patrons" rather than spectators to the club's blue-chip membership. ✅  Long-term decision-making. Augusta does not play for short-term wins. It is invested in long-term value creation and a fundamentally different product than other tournaments. It executes for the long term with unwavering commitment. The famous 330-yard Magnolia Lane that extends from the entrance gate to the clubhouse was paved in 1947, yet the large magnolia trees that line both sides of the road date to the late 1850s. Anchored in tradition but embracing change with cutting-edge technology and analysis—that, to me, is what makes Augusta great. If you have not visited the Masters, I would encourage you to do so—even if it is only to study the remarkable Augusta National institution. #AugustaNational #Golf #Excellence #MagnoliaLane #Tradition

🏌️♂️ The End of Majors Season. What's Next?? 🏌️♀️ As the dust settles from an exhilarating British Open, congratulations to Xander Schauffele for his outstanding victory! 🌟 Well deserved winner as he capitalised on all the birdie opportunities his opponents couldn't in the final round. The end of Majors season always leaves us reflecting on the incredible talent and thrilling moments we've witnessed. But it also leaves a huge gap till the first Major of the year swings around again and that's not till next April at The Masters in Augusta. For many golf nuts, that's possibly too big a gap and a strong reason on adding The Australian Open as a 5th Major to the calendar. 🌏 Why the Australian Open? 1. Global Reach: Golf is a global sport, and the inclusion of The Australian Open would further emphasise its international appeal. Australia has a rich golfing history and offers a unique landscape and climate, providing a diverse challenge for players.    2. Talent Showcase: Australia has produced some of the finest golfers in the world. A 5th Major Down Under would give these local talents a prestigious platform on home turf and attract top players from around the globe like it once did. 3. Season Extension: Adding a Major later in the year would maintain the momentum and excitement of the golf season, engaging fans and players alike for a longer period. 4. Economic Boost: Hosting a Major would bring significant economic benefits to the region, boosting tourism, creating jobs, and fostering local businesses. 5. Innovation and Growth: Golf is ever-evolving, and introducing a new Major could bring fresh dynamics to the sport, encouraging innovation and growth within the golfing community. Let's start the conversation and envision a future where the golf majors season is longer, the competition fiercer, and the global community more connected. What are your thoughts on The Australian Open as the 5th Major? 🌟⛳️ #Golf #Majors #BritishOpen #AustralianOpen #GolfingWorld #InnovationInGolf #GlobalGolf #XanderSchauffele #ExecutiveGolfersNetwork
