Suppliers on your Doorstep
It’s a two-way street: golf contributes to the prosperity of local communities and local communities contribute to the economic health of golf.
Favouring local materials, products and contractors can benefit your bottom line as well as your carbon footprint.
Local heroes
While the quality, availability and affordability of local products and services varies, finding ways to spend locally supports an economic system that can ultimately benefit the bottom line, particularly for golf clubs and golf events.
Creating opportunities for local businesses to access the corporate supply chain and the power of golf’s spend, is one of the most useful ways that a golf operation can contribute to the development and economy of its region. This can also help to encourage start-ups and new enterprises that will ultimately support your business with core products and services. Shopping locally also drives down the carbon miles associated with extended supply chains. From construction to catering and from merchandise to machinery, using local materials, local products and contractors can increase your profits and reduce your carbon footprint.
Cooperation with other golf businesses can help to create new support structures. Commitments of collective buying power may be enough for local distributors to set up, for new private industries to form, such as waste management and recycling businesses, to specialist suppliers of turf management products.
