Dear Industry Colleague
Is a huge relief for the whole of the golf industry that we are able to return to the fairways in England at the end of March. Alfresco dining and boozing look set to follow in a careful and cautious manner from 12th April. Further freedoms are promised, subject to the critical infection numbers not rising and the vaccine rollout continuing at pace. This is obviously very welcome news, even though some would say it is overly cautious
The new online GolfBIC (2,3&4 March) provides a wide range of fascinating insights from some great speakers. Online events such as these are all very new, but are set to become more popular even when the pandemic problems recede. It makes quite a lot of sense to visit an event without having the enormous cost of travel and accommodation. Much is changing in the golf range world and all of the premium range technology companies will be part of our online exhibition. It’s excellent value and fascinating and we very much look forward to seeing as many as possible of you next week.

Obviously, with the news of Tiger Woods car crash we send him and his family all our very best wishes and our hopes for a speedy recovery. We want Tiger back on the fairways, safe and well and delighting millions more fans with his brilliant golf.
Best wishes Colin Jenkins
