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.
