Meet the team
The people behind Link Club
We're greenkeepers, bar and desk staff, marketers, buyers and the people who look after them, and we run golf courses day to day. Meet the people a committee speaks to, the teams who look after the course and the clubhouse, and how to come and work with us.
How we work
One clear standard, shaped around every club
Every Link Club should feel cared for and well kept. How that is achieved differs from club to club, and it always starts with listening.
Give Respect, Earn Trust
We listen before we act. The club keeps its name, crest, traditions and competitions, and decisions are made with the club, not for it.
Speak Openly, Follow Through
We build the picture from the club's own figures, talk it through plainly, and do what we say we will.
Create Lasting Momentum
Course, clubhouse, operation and experience, planned season by season and paid for in the plan, so each season builds on the last.
The Game Comes First
We are golfers as well as operators. Medals, matches and juniors keep their place on the tee sheet.
The people
Experience on the course and around the business
The people a club works with, from the first conversation to the first tee. Choose anyone to read more.
For club committees
Who you speak to
A committee speaks to Andrew Terry and Joe Jackson. Andrew is a PGA professional and competitive golfer; Joe brings finance and business turnaround. They see a conversation through from the first call to the committee room, and they answer for what is agreed.
It starts with a walk. Andrew sees the course with whoever knows it best, the captain or the head greenkeeper, and hears the stories behind the honours boards before talking about anything else. Joe sits down with the treasurer and, with the club’s permission, reads its own figures and talks them through plainly.
What’s said stays between the club and the two of them until the club decides otherwise. How we work together is agreed with each club before anything is signed.
For golfers and members
The greens team, all year
Our day starts in the half-light: greens cut and rolled, holes moved, bunkers raked. By the time the first group walks onto the tee, the course is ready.
Through the year it is feeding and overseeding in spring, set-up for the big days in summer, renovation in autumn, and drainage and machinery in winter. Sixty robot mowers take the long hours of fairway and rough, so greenkeepers spend their time on the craft.
More expertise around your club
Link Club gives a club access to a wider operating team:
- Operations
- Greenkeeping
- HR
- Health & Safety
- IT
- Accounts
- Digital
- Marketing
- Procurement
- Food & Beverage
- Capital projects
- This gives your team specialist support and direction, but they still stay close to members and the day-to-day.
For golfers and members
A day in the clubhouse and at the bar
The bar and desk team look after the clubhouse from opening up to last orders: the rooms set, the tee sheet checked, and a welcome at the desk for members, guests and societies.
Food is a short menu, finished on site and served from the bar, with a roll before the medal and something hot after a wet winter round.
Questions we're asked
About the team
Who you meet and how to get in touch.
Andrew is a PGA professional with more than 25 years in golf, four of them as the professional at a private members’ club. Joe brings finance and business turnaround. They have built the business with their own capital.
Our strategic advisor, who joined this summer. In Andrew’s words, he brings “enormous experience of leading complex leisure organisations.” Read Andy’s profile.
A club needs one, and Andrew is “more convinced than ever” of it. Our team sells their consumables at “zero commission” and pays a retainer, so their day goes on lessons, fittings and members. Does a golf club need a PGA professional? sets it out in his words.
Gladly. A committee can talk to Andrew and Joe in confidence; golfers and members can read the journal, use the contact form.
Working with us
Why golf clubs matter to us
Golf clubs are some of the best places we know: the first tee on a summer evening, the names on the honours boards, the friendships that last for decades.
We look for greenkeepers, bar, front-of-house and desk staff who care about them, and we train them, from a first job to head greenkeeper. Nobody works alone, and at a new club the people who already know it are the first we listen to.
