About

Harry Cloke on the green at the Himalayan Golf Course, Pokhara, Nepal
Me at the Himalayan Golf Course in Pokhara, Nepal, 2023

I am a pragmatic and forward-thinking individual with nearly 12 years of experience spanning the breadth of the industry. I am currently second-in-command of a London members' golf club, and the founder of a golf technology consultancy working with golf course architects, agronomists and facilities in the UK, US and Continental Europe.

I am a strong believer in magnifying a club's sense of place; adopting tools and processes behind the scenes to draw out the unique features of the team, experience and facility as a whole. I combine expertise in process improvement through tech adoption with a keen desire to provide authentic and personal service to members and guests. I am an advocate for staff empowerment and work hard to grow a supportive work culture across teams.

I also oversee two golf simulators, and have worked with the Head Professional to design, scope and fund the renovation of our simulator space.
  • Technology and the member journey. Automated customer data capture so that regular visitors are identified, contacted and — hopefully — converted to full members. Designed and piloted automated event and diary communications across catering, bar, pro shop and administration.
