If you’re a golf club manager and you haven’t yet implemented the MAJOR changes outlined in the Employment Rights Act, you and your club are vulnerable.
And if you want to protect your job and your club, it’s vital you read this, because we’re currently living through the biggest shakeup in employment law in the last 40 years, and the penalties for not abiding by that law, and ensuring your documentation reflects it are very harsh indeed.
If you’re reading this, there’s every chance you know who I am, but if not, allow me to introduce myself:
I’m Carolyne Wahlen, owner of Golf HR, and I work with private member golf clubs to help them stay legal, compliant and protected whilst growing their club.
I’ve worked in HR for over 30 years, so it’s fair to say I know more than a thing or two about helping organisations grow while staying tribunal-free.
We all know it’s difficult to run a club successfully without staff.
Frankly, it’s impossible.
But the moment you bring staff into the equation, you also bring rules, regulations and legal obligations.
And this year, with this government, those obligations have changed. In a BIG way.
The new Act has introduced a raft of changes: stronger protections for employees, expanded rights and tighter expectations on employers.
Tribunals will now look much more closely at whether employers have taken proper steps to protect themselves and their staff.
And if you haven’t spent the time getting the human resources side of your club right, then you’re risking a lot of different things.
I’ve seen too many clubs ignore this stuff and pay the price.
In fact, I know one club who didn’t take these things seriously.
They didn’t carry out a proper recruitment process, they failed to get proper contracts signed, and things went very wrong.
£45,000 in compensation later, and there was a serious hole in their bank balance, which meant compromising on improvements they wanted to make for their members.
All because they failed to take employment law seriously, because managing staff legally had never made it to the top of their to-do list.
And with the new Employment Rights Act now tightening employment protections even further, mistakes like that are becoming even more expensive.
If your contracts, policies and procedures haven’t been reviewed recently — and specifically with the new Act in mind — they are now out of date, and not worth the paper they’re written on.
Armed with this information, you’ve got three choices.
The first two are downright dangerous.
- Ignore the changes, put your head in the sand and hope for the best
- Try and muddle through it yourself, using a mixture of AI, templates off the internet, members who used to be lawyers
If you’re using either of those approaches, something needs to change.
Because if your club employs staff but you don’t have the correct policies and procedures in place — particularly under the new Employment Rights Act — you are risking thousands and thousands of pounds in tribunal claims.
If things go wrong, and you haven’t taken the necessary precautions, you’ll be in serious trouble.
But it’s not all doom and gloom, because there is a third option, which enables you to get all the right documentation in place without forking over thousands of pounds, on going onto an expensive retainer contract.
This option will help you:
- Avoid employment tribunals
- Protect your club financially
- Retain your best staff
- All for under £1,000, with no long-term commitment
Because there are hundreds of clubs across the UK who need help with HR, especially now the Employment Rights Act has changed the landscape.
Many of them are managed by good, honest people like you who want to do the right thing.
This solution is for you (and them), and it’s called DIY HR.

Your investment (and limited time offer)
So what does this cost?
Normally, a standard package like this would cost £3,197 + VAT.
Still far cheaper than going to an employment solicitor.
But in recognition of the fact that hundreds of golf clubs NEED this right now, I’ve decided to offer a dramatically discounted price for a limited time only.
When you take action before 5pm on Friday 17 April, you can get the full standard package for just: £897 + VAT.
It really is exceptional value, especially when you consider that the documents you’ll get are ‘hot off the press’, very latest belt and braces UK law.
If you’re running a club with over 10 employees, you may prefer the Gold package, which includes everything in standard package AND two hours of implementation support, helping you put everything in place correctly.
Normally priced at £3,597, the Gold package can be yours for just £1397 + VAT.
