Golf Competition - Tuesday 28th May
A unique experience awaits ISSA’s keen golfers: the ISSA Invitation Golf Day.
This is to be staged on Tuesday 28th May 2013 at the oldest golf course in the world: The Royal Blackheath Golf Club www.royalblackheath.com
The aim of this standalone event is to offer ISSA Members the opportunity to invite their important customers to a once-in-a-lifetime golfing experience the like of which they will never forget.
To be held at the world’s oldest golf club – The Royal Blackheath – to the south of central London, the day will start with “bacon butties” upon arrival.
The aim of the competition is for groups of 4 to tee-off so our idea is for the ISSA Member to have 3 of his or her most important customers as a foursome for this memorable occasion.
Lunch will be provided during your round and once the Competition has finished we are laying-on a traditional English “high tea” in the Club House which will be followed by the prize-giving.
During the day arrangements have been made for you and your guests to visit the Club’s Museum which could almost be described as a “shrine to golf” it contains so many significant artefacts, mementoes and memorabilia!
