I just wanted to say again and massive thank you for yesterday. Honestly, it was the best golf day I have been involved in, the attention to detail was next level.

Really appreciate your support with NOAM and very much look forward to working with you and Sportingclass for the rest of the season and beyond.

Christian Purdy, Head of Sales, GHF Drinks

On behalf of Team BA, I’d like to say a BIG thank you for such an amazing day.
The hospitality, food, drinks offering, and organisation were second to none and a perfect way to entertain customers who have been sending the loveliest thank you emails.
You even brought the sun!

What a fantastic event and something completely different for my customers who all had a truly fantastic time. The whole thing from start to finish was the usual first-class experience I have got used to receiving from you guys so thank you for the huge amount of work and organising that must have taken to achieve.

Jason Selfe, Senior Account Manager, Mizuno

Andy and team, thanks to you guys! The whole team had an amazing day – again! What a terrific event!

Paul Bashir, CEO, Harrison Street Europe

Hi Paul and Andy
A big thank you for the golf, as usual, really well organised and credit to you both and your crew….You have a great outfit.

Chris Hawkins, Director, Tropical Sky

I wanted to convey our massive thanks for your support and assistance over the past few weeks and finally at our Stoke Park event yesterday.
It is hard to strive for perfection but I think we came pretty close yesterday. Your overall dedication, professionalism, organisation and refusal to be fazed by any problems or hitches was a joy. It’s always a team effort – but our customers had an amazing day and that was largely down to Sportingclass.

John Castle, Partner Alliances Manager, Logicalis

Just wanted to drop you a note to say a massive thank you to your team and the Grove team for a fantastic event on Thursday at our first ever Proximo Masters Event. Despite the weather the event went with out a hitch and I have had such positive feedback from all that attended. The organisation and attention to detail that you delivered was first class and we were thrilled to be a part of. Please pass on my thanks to all and catch-up soon.

Andrew Clifton, General Manager, Proximo

I just wanted to thank you all for putting on such a great day, the whole series of golf days have been such good fun and you guys have been unbelievable hosts. The golf courses have been nothing short of spectacular, hats off. A shame we didn’t make it to Jamaica but nonetheless a truly great few rounds with a great crew.

All the best for the Caribbean trip and hopefully we will see you for the next batch!! Please pass on my appreciation to the whole team.

Jamie Durkin, Vedett

I have had two lovely emails back from our team hosts … they had a simply fantastic day and one of them said it was the best day of golf he had ever had, hands down! So thank you so much for all of your organisation

Katie Dobson-Hall, Senior Events and Sponsorship Manager, The Telegraph

It is about three years ago that I had the idea of the Willow Senior Golf Classic. I was fortunate enough to have friends who had been involved with such events at club level and at tour level, but arguably my greatest fortune was knowing Andy Lee and Sportingclass.

Throughout the three years Sportingclass have brought in good sponsors and have ensured the smooth running of the tournament by their liaison between the senior tour and the benefitting charity. We are now an established event on the Staysure Tour and I am confident that, whatever variation in direction or style we might seek, we will continue to present a first class golf tournament.

Sportingclass are always a pleasure to work with and always deliver a top grade performance.

Duncan Sinclair, Founder, Willow Senior Golf Classic
