Custodian Golf is a new firm which aims to work with golf clubs across England to support them in transitioning to lasting success. They work in partnership to help optimise a club’s potential and grow the game of golf through innovative strategies and a commitment to putting back better.
Leading Custodian Golf are four directors: Phil Grice, Philip Atkinson, Chris Leeming, and Alasdair Rae. Together, they bring a wealth of expertise in golf course management, strategic planning, accountancy, and spatial data analysis, all united by a shared passion for the game.
Custodian Golf has announced the release of its comprehensive whitepaper, “Securing the Future of Golf: From Challenge to Opportunity”. This addresses the critical challenges facing the golf industry and proposes strategic, data-driven solutions to ensure its survival and growth.
The whitepaper provides a detailed analysis of the economic pressures, demographic imbalances, and environmental risks confronting golf courses and clubs across the UK. It outlines innovative strategies for creating sustainable, engaging, and profitable golf facilities, leveraging comprehensive data and extensive industry experience.
The whitepaper highlights the urgent need for ‘revolution in the industry’, as ‘rising maintenance, insurance, and operational costs threaten the closure of 433 clubs in Great Britain without immediate intervention’.
Phil Grice, Director of Custodian Golf, comments, “We are thrilled to officially launch this revolutionary whitepaper that’s been eighteen months in the making, we are dedicated to revolutionising the golf industry at a time when it is needed the most. Our vision is to create sustainable, inclusive, and engaging golf facilities that adapt to the evolving needs of today’s golfers. By leveraging comprehensive data and our collective experience, we aim to grow the game and ensure that golf courses remain vibrant and accessible for future generations. The need for change is urgent, and at Custodian Golf, we are committed to making a positive impact on the golfing community and the environment.”
