Welcome to LEEDS GOLF CLUB

Letter to the Greens Chairman


Mike
The work of greens staff cannot be overlooked and as member of PGA staff running an event a total belief of the team you have makes my job easier knowing that I have added 5 members of staff to my staff when mother nature does rear her head.
As I mentioned 3 days does not make a tournament, months of care and consideration must go into it or you get no where and without a good team on the ground the gates do not open to allow the likes of the PGA to play.
I must personally say that the staff at Leeds are some of the nicest we encounter on our travels and the belief in the greens staff by us plays a major factor in our thoughts when looking at venues to use for tournaments.
As myself and Neil were reminiscing there have been some interesting times at Leeds GC between yourselves and the PGA but they are always on hand to help – which helps.
Unfortunately too many times they are the unsung heroes of a golf event but if there was ever an advertisement at how important they were the last 3 days showed that to its fullest.
I am not back in the office until Monday but I will be sending a letter to Neil personally to thank him for his efforts also.
I am very much looking forward to the relationship between Leeds GC and the PGA continuing for many years to come.
Regards
Jonathan
