Is golf participation being let down by schools?  

Posted on by David Barrigan

I’ve written before about the stigma surrounding golf and it has a significant impact on participation. Emma Ballard from Medi8 , LET member Sophie Walker , Kelly Saddleton and the England Golf team including Abbie Lench and Ali Lysons have campaigned endlessly to promote golf to girls. From my experience in education, the lack of focus on golf […]

Are you bored at business exhibitions?

Posted on by Klickntap

We’ve all been to business exhibitions and wondered why so many stands don’t engage with us. Not every product or service is the most exciting thing, but can be essential. We all have accountants, lawyers, phone providers etc, so how do they get you to start a conversation and get the all important data? Sweets? […]

Something different for corporate team building…

Posted on by Klickntap

In a world of postmodern management speak, there’s a bit of a stigma to team building. For years, I thought of it in a David Brent or that guy from the call centre on BBC Three kind of way. However, employee engagement and happiness has a huge impact on retaining staff. It costs companies so […]

How Putting Edge Started

Posted on by Klickntap

I often get asked how Putting Edge started, so the start of our story… Another dreary team building session on an INSET day. Another meeting where I didn’t get to speak to who I wanted to. Another situation seeing groups of friends who would rather scroll down through their phone than actually engage with each […]

" Thank you to Putting Edge for providing a fantastic engagement activity that all staff could get involved with. It was great to see the fun and competitive streak coming out in the teams over the course of the week. The course was tailored to our company and the assembly and dismantle of the course was effortless. I have no hesitation in recommending Putting edge for any corporate events and look forward to working with them again in the future.’"

Danielle Riley - Exec Assistant (Amazon Fulfillment)

" This year we had our Laboratory Show and Conference and I knew exactly what attraction I wanted to have – Yes, Putting Edge. We had a 9 hole course that spread across the exhibition hall and people taking part had to gather stamps from different suppliers to play one hole. This ensured that exhibitors were getting good footfall on their stands and visitors were enjoying taking part in the competition and indeed the exhibition – “win, win”. It proved incredibly popular and added to the easy going atmosphere of the day. David, of Putting Edge, set the course up the day before and was always on hand throughout the day to help if needed. I can’t recommend Putting Edge enough and we will definitely be using him for our next event."

Colleen Holgate - The Scientific Lab Show

" Thank you Putting Edge! The mini-golf course you supplied was a resounding success. Having trialled a lot of different stand entertainment over the years this was far by the best in terms of engaging passers by and creating a buzz on the stand. The course looked good and was easy to assemble which is all important when managing a busy stand with tight setup times. We’re already looking forward to our next event!"

Samantha O'Connor - Avecto

" Having seen a Putting Edge course in action at an alternative event, we just had to book them for our own event…and we are over the moon that we did! David and team are fantastic to deal with from the out-set including suggestions for creative courses to suit. In our case, we chose to have the course laid out as per the initials of our event which made for fantastic photos for social media! Almost everyone who came to our event commented on the golf – we certainly wouldn’t hesitate to book Putting Edge for any future events. Thank you!"

Louise Jones – Dreamscope TV

" Our Indoor Putting Event at Hillside Golf Club was an evening of fun and laughter, tinged with an element of competitiveness from certain members! We set the evening up for our Juniors and their families as they very often get ignored in social events. Everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time playing on the 9 hole course set out by David and his staff followed by supper and presentation of prizes. Everything was provided for us: difficult putting holes with various challenges, balls and putters, a stress free event! A very good way of making money for our Charities whilst having a great deal of fun! I woul'd highly recommend Putting Edge for an event at any golf club during those winter months."

Rosie Wright - Junior Organizer at Hillside Golf Club, Southport.

" Putting Edge brought some of their unique golf installations to the Prolific North Live expo at Event City when I was heading up sales and marketing for the show in February 2017. They brought a nice bit of fun and excitement to the show and David was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I’d heartily recommend Putting Edge to anyone putting on events and looking to add a bit of fairy dust and interaction to proceedings."

Dunstan Carter – Prolific North Live

" Thank so much for supporting the CSP Network Convention. The Putting Edge mini golf holes that you set up provided a great spectacle to the evening which we enjoyed very much. The holes were very adaptable and fitted into the space that we had perfectly. Your team were really friendly and helped to create a fun atmosphere so that everyone could take part and have a go."

Adrian Ledbury – CSP Network

" We came across the Putting Edge a few days before our event. After seeing the setup and potential attraction and fun element it could bring to the thousands who walked through our doors we knew we had to bring them in. The smiles on people’s faces and feedback was enough to know we made the right decision. What David created was fantastic and was enjoyed by all. In hindsight, we could have provided a much bigger area for David to create something special. That will be for next year!"

Tahir Mirza - Founder of The Muslim Lifestyle Expo

" Putting Edge one of the most affable, easy going companies I’ve had the pleasure of working with at an Expo. The product is simple and brilliant and very eye catching and engaging for attendees. It was noticeable that our attendees stopped to play on the putting green and engaged in conversation and lingered longer with this great setup which by the way, was very slick and well built. Highly recommended and a worthwhile addition to any event."

Andrew Charlton - Director of Hashtag Events

" Using Putting Edge at a business expo is the perfect way to increase the number of conversations you can have throughout the day. At our Expo’s we really encourage exhibitors to be proactive and creative in attracting visitors to their stand, the best exhibition stands really do give visitors that extra reason to come over and engage with them. Putting Edge is an ideal way of doing exactly this and a really creative ice breaker to that all important business conversation. I would definitely recommend Putting Edge to increase engagement whilst exhibiting at any business expo!"

Daniel Campbell - Innov8 Conferences

" I wanted to write and thank you for setting up the golf course at our wedding on the 25th August. It looked great and certainly caused a stir amongst the guests. Everyone loved it, I was surprised as to how competitive it became. It certainly added to the evening, Your approach was very professional yet very friendly, which I thank you for as it took away any worries for me as the bride. I would gladly tell everyone how great you were and recommend you, I wish you all the very best in your future business. Many thanks."

Jan Rust

" At our wedding, my guests just loved it. Everyone was talking about it. We wanted something that summed the three of us up and had a few golf lovers there too. Thank you!"
