Obbi Golf, a leading provider of compliance software for the golf industry, is conducting the Golf Health & Safety Survey 2023 to gain insights into the current safety, compliance, and training situation at golf clubs across the UK and Ireland. The survey aims to identify the pain points of club managers and staff and determine what they would like to see improved. Obbi Golf believes that by gathering insightful data from club managers, they can help make changes that will benefit the future of golf club management.

The results of the 2022 survey carried out jointly by The Golf Club Managers’ Association (GCMA), The Club Managers Association and the Irish Golf Club Managers’ Association, Howden Group, Golf Plan, and Obbi Golf, showed that most golf clubs across the UK and Ireland are finding it difficult to keep up with minimum legal standards for health & safety and other compliance requirements. The survey found that only 13% of participants use a specialised software system to store H&S policies, training materials, and risk assessments. Furthermore, only 22% of participants are confident that their club has all its outsourced services (e.g., Catering, Pro Shop, etc.) checks, audits, mandatory certifications, and training fully up-to-date today. Two-thirds of clubs agree that implementing Health & Safety software will help save money in the long run.

We invite club managers to participate in the survey, which takes only a few minutes to complete. Your insights and feedback will be invaluable in shaping the future of golf club management. We kindly request that you share the survey with your network and encourage them to participate as well. Let’s work together to make golf clubs safer for all.
