Ernst & Young

EY, the sponsors of the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles, asked me to organise a challenge match for their partners versus clients to commence Ryder Cup week.

The youngest ever Solheim Cup player and Ladies European Tour winner, Charley Hull, came along to join my team for the day.

The guests played match play and took part in a series of challenges including using Trackman for the Longest Drive and being tempted by a “mulligan” to try and drive the par 4 8th hole. Charley was a breath of fresh air, hosting her own challenge on hole 9 and a Q&A over lunch.

The weather was perfect, the guests all relaxed and enjoyed playing matchplay instead of the usual stableford. Rolley Golf came along to add some fun, demonstrating their latest Rolley.

How did we do?

“Thank you to you and your team for the extra ordinary efforts yesterday.  Making a large event run smoothly as it did, adjusting for variations like longer matches, takes a lot of preparation and flexibility.  Well done.
The extra thoughts and efforts (including laying out the course on a Sunday) and special touches (e.g. EY Welcomes You on the range) really added to a splendid day.  Your suggestion of Charley joining was very well received.  I appreciated how you stayed in touch with the event, even shifting the extra balls to where they were needed.  I know my client appreciated the in flight coaching tips you gave as well.
These are just some of the many ideas and touches and effort you put in.  Thank you.
Please pass on my thanks to your team as well.  Each professional greeted us with great aplomb and took the challenge in the right spirit which was great fun”.
