I was recently alerted to a concept that I haven’t come across before
Free Birthday Golf, courses offering you a free round of golf on your birthday!

Researching this further I found over 40 clubs offering Free Birthday Golf
(all in the US & Canada I’m afraid, UK wake up!!) and I’ve put them together in a report.

Check it out and claim your free rounds. Click here or on the book cover.

The idea requires you to register with the course online and you get a day pass or voucher to be used on or around your birthday or in the case of winter birthdays a more suitable time when the weather is improved.

Now, I appreciate that club will send you follow up emails etc but lets face it we get so much spam and rubbish anyway we might as well get some information about something we are actually interested in for once!

A criticism I have of golf clubs, particularly in the UK, is that in general they are pretty poor and unimaginative in their marketing but this innovative approach creates a win win situation for all concerned. The club gets to showcase it’s course, clubhouse, facilities and atmosphere and the golfer gets to enjoy a memorable free day out and may well come back again in the future. Loss leaders have been used successfully by business for many years to tempt customers into trying their products for many years and I’m sure golf clubs would make up any reduction in revenue very quickly as word got round.

As all golf clubs are facing a very difficult and uncertain financial future it’s great to see something different being tried.

These must represent the ultimate great golf green fee deal! :-)
