WLG comes home to Stoke Park

Stoke Park, in Buckinghamshire, is to be the official English ‘home’ of the World of Leading Golf (WLG) until at least 2017. World of Leading Golf (WLG) is an international community of member golf clubs fully committed to upholding the very highest levels of quality and it is currently in the process of awarding national ‘home’ status to individual venues in each member country.

WLG has members in 16 European countries and is expanding, with clubs from every other continent currently in the application stage. And it is for this reason that the WLG board has taken the decision to appoint a ‘home’ base for each member country and the first to be appointed is England’s Stoke Park.

Claus Feldt, WLG’s general manager, explained, “In an expanding organisation such as WLG it is essential you have a place on the ground you can call ‘home’, somewhere you can not only regard as your ‘family’ base but also somewhere you’re happy to wave the flag for you. Stoke Park is a fabulous venue and we are very proud to have it as our spiritual ‘home’ in England.”

Stoke Park’s Stuart Collier, the director of golf at the five-AA Red Star Hotel, added, “We were delighted when, earlier this year, we were the first English venue to be accepted into WLG, and, as other clubs join we are equally proud to be chosen as WLG’s ‘home’ in England.” More at: www.world-of-leading-golf.com
