Golfbreaks Get Back To Golf Tour
In 2020 Alan set up The Get Back to Golf Tour, initially as a “one off”.
“I set the tour up in the summer of 2020 in the middle of the COVID pandemic, just to get the guys out the house and back on the course with a card in their hand. I know first hand, the importance of keeping our elite players competitive and the idea was just to give them a few games during COVID. I was worried they would lose their competitive edge and was also concerned for their well being. Never in my wildest dreams did I think the tour would prove so popular and grow the way it has, hence here we are 4 years later. No one is going to get rich playing the wee tour, however for me personally it ticks many boxes and that was my concept from the outset. Flexible, relaxed, competitive, friendly, sociable, supporting Scottish clubs and venues, and help create new friendships as well as cementing old ones. As long as there is a demand and a desire from the players wanting to play, then I’ll do my bit and continue to try and make the tour bigger and better for years to come”, Alan said.
