59club has commissioned a live in-person education course, with the sole purpose of supporting the industry’s current and future leaders – and its unlike anything we’ve experienced in golf before.
Starting in the UK & Ireland in October 2024, the creators behind this bespoke Leadership Programme are Andy Siddall and Paul Chapman of Robincroft Consulting Ltd, both highly regarded as experts in their field having supported many FTSE 100 companies to develop successful leaders under their direction.
Simon Wordsworth, 59club CEO says, “For a long time our data has identified that inspiration leadership equates to positive operational metrics. In previous years we have delivered two six-week courses with Gregg Patterson, and developed a 6-month course with Lora Cavan, both were extremely successful for the employees and employers.
“After the success of those two initial courses, we took stock, sought feedback and identified what the industry felt was missing – in short, we identified an appetite to learn more from outside the golf industry, the desire to learn in small sessions over a longer period, the need to be connected to an educator in-person, with regular 1-1 sessions to support understanding and implementation, and finally, value for money for the employer.”
The ‘team sports’ arena felt like the perfect fit, as did Robincroft, coming highly recommended and respected. Andy has spent his career working in both educational and professional sport environments as a performance coach, whilst Paul has an extensive corporate background as a FTSE executive in both the banking and property industries.
The bespoke leadership programme is totally inclusive and has been made available to the entire golf industry. The course runs over two years, with 10 full contact days spaced equally during that period and regular touch points in-between each section, and while its available to all, 59club has secured a significant discount for both 59club clients and PGA affiliated members wanting to excel their leadership style.

Andy said: “We are delighted to introduce this new course to the golf industry, as we aim to equip learners with the full range of skills that any future leader would need to inspire their teams, from realising one’s potential as a leader, to intimately exploring personal traits, who we are and what drives behaviours. It is the first education programme of its kind tailored specifically for the golf industry, ultimately delivering the same opportunities that those working in the FTSE 100 companies have benefited from.
“The first 3 modules of the Future Leaders Foundation programme are weighted heavily on behaviours, helping delegates to form a deeper understanding of themselves, while learning practical methods to better understand others. After a skillset self-assessment, the remaining modules provide delegates with the core foundation skills needed for their leadership journey, with Individual Development Plans (IDPs) to drive progress and track a return on investment. We can’t wait to get started.”
