Our Story
Business Links Golf Networking was born out of lived experience, practical insight, and a desire to do things differently.
After several years of networking through traditional golf events, founder Andy Graham saw a clear opportunity to create something more inclusive, efficient, and accessible without losing the joy of golf or the power of relationship-building.
In 2021, Andy launched the first Business Links group in Manchester, originally hosted at the Trafford Golf Centre. From there, the idea took root and began to grow, not just in numbers, but in purpose.
He had identified a number of barriers with traditional golf networking:
-
🕒 Time commitment – Playing 18 holes often takes an entire working day.
-
🌧️ Unreliable weather – Outdoor events are at the mercy of the Great British forecast.
-
🎯 Experience required – Many events cater only to confident, low-handicap players.
-
♿ Accessibility – Traditional golf courses can be difficult or even impossible for people with disabilities to access.
-
🔇 Lost connections – Despite being social, players often end up spread across the course.
-
💸 High costs – Some golf networks are priced out of reach for many business owners.
Andy created Business Links Golf Networking to solve all of these problems.
By using indoor golf simulator venues, Business Links offers a modern, welcoming, and cost-effective alternative where:
-
Everyone from seasoned players to total beginners can join in
-
The group stays together throughout the experience
-
Weather is never a factor
-
Sessions are shorter, affordable, and easier to fit into busy schedules
-
PGA coaching is provided in a relaxed, social atmosphere
It started with one group, now it's growing fast.
And at its core, Business Links remains true to Andy’s original vision: a place where professionals from all walks of life can come together, share ideas, build lasting relationships — and enjoy a love of golf, whatever their ability.
