Over 1000 clubs participate in EGU Golf Central
EGU Golf Central reached a milestone at the end of January
when the 1000th club registered to participate in the service.
EGU Golf Central is the only online club directory that is
endorsed by the governing body, the English Golf Union and
provides golfers with the opportunity to get outstanding value
at many of the 1900+ courses throughout England in just three
clicks.
Windmill Village Golf Club in Allesley, near Coventry is the
latest club to be using EGU Golf Central to promote their
facilities to a worldwide audience.
Marci Hartland, Golf & Leisure Manager at Windmill Village
said “This is a great opportunity for clubs. EGU Golf
Central is simple to use, is free of charge and provides us
with 100% control over what we want to promote and when we
want to promote it. And there’s a great potential audience
from golfers, in England and overseas, linking from the main
EGU site.”
Since its launch in September last year thousands of golfers
have accessed the website and requested details of special
offers being offered by clubs countrywide, entered open competitions
and made membership enquiries. And as the season draws ever
nearer these numbers are only going to increase.
Colin Spurr, EGU Chairman commented, “I have always
believed in the potential of EGU Golf Central. It was important
that our clubs supported the website and from the start and
we made sure we got as many club secretaries and managers
involved in its development as we could. We have been delighted
with the response from clubs and its great to celebrate the
1000th milestone at Windmill Village.”
EGU Golf Central employs unique technology using maps to search
for clubs, in addition to the usual alphabetical search. This
makes it really easy to find clubs within a 10, 25 or 50 mile
radius of any point. At a glance golfers can see which clubs
have special offers, open competitions or vacancies and get
general information including directions, sat-nav coordinates
and local weather.
