Albatross represent many of our members and their experience in digital marketing will enable the UK Golf Federation to continue developing its vision for its members”
Commenting on the partnership Albatross founder, James Wilkinson said; “Modern day marketing is changing at an unprecedented rate that is difficult even for those who work in the field to keep abreast with.
“Our mission is to empower golf businesses by modernising their approach to marketing to help grow the game for the next generation.
“By partnering with the UK Golf Federation, we will be able to share our knowledge and best practice from running thousands of marketing campaigns across golf, wedding, leisure and entertainment for clubs including Celtic Manor, Maple Leaf and Altonwood Groups and Woodhall Spa.
