"A
whole new way forward for the EGU to communicate with clubs"
Paul Baxter, Chief Executive / Secretary, English Golf Union
In Autumn 2003 the governing body of the men's amateur game in England,
the EGU, asked Hiseman Limited golf consultants to help create a
national email communications network amongst its 1900+ affiliated
golf clubs.
The
project was successfully completed in February 2004. The EGU now
runs (in-house) a thriving daily email communications programme
with the majority of golf clubs in England. The results can be seen
at http://www.englishgolfunion.org
(click on the 'EGU Community' graphic).
Golf
clubs across England are now sharing advice and operational tips
on a daily basis. The EGU Community helps golf clubs to:
get Questions answered

Buy
/ Sell / Exchange items
quickly

other clubs about scams, fraud and burglaries
