Executive Search

Most top leadership in golf isn’t scrolling through job ads. They’re busy shaping culture, elevating player experiences, and driving transformation. That’s why The Golfing Link exists. We specialize in discreet, precision-led executive search, connecting golf organizations with innovative, off-market leaders who understand both the business and the soul of the game.


With 75% of top-tier talent hidden from traditional recruitment channels, we go beyond visibility to find the visionaries who can grow memberships, elevate brand positioning, and bring strategic edge to your club, course, or organization.


Our expertise lies in sourcing CEOs, Managing Directors, and senior executives for golf’s most ambitious establishments—private member clubs, luxury resort destinations, commercial operators, and governing bodies.


Whether you're seeking a turnaround artist, a brand-builder, or someone who lives and breathes golf, we deliver leaders equipped to elevate operations and leave a legacy.


We don’t just fill seats—we shape legacies. With 32 years in global recruitment and deep insight into executive leadership, we don’t just fill seats—we shape legacies.

Global Mobility

Bringing talent across borders unlocks a powerful infusion of fresh perspectives, challenging long-standing norms and sparking creative reinvention in golf leadership. International professionals often bring experience shaped by different market pressures, member expectations, and operational models—fuel for innovation in clubs seeking transformative change.


This strategy not only fuels innovation and cultural exchange but also accelerates growth for clubs and major golfing establishments seeking disruptive leadership. With global reach and a sharp eye for potential, we’re redefining where top-tier golf talent can thrive.


Their presence fosters cross-cultural collaboration, introducing adaptive thinking that can reframe everything from course strategy to member engagement to operational excellence.


For clubs ready to evolve, global mobility isn't just about filling roles—it's a strategic move to inspire reinvention through diversity of thought.

Meet the Team

Yes—we are new, and that’s exactly why we’re different.

We’re not encumbered by legacy systems or outdated networks. We were built for the now. Our approach is fresh, data-informed, and purpose-driven, shaped by what the golf industry needs next, not what it’s always done.


Our team brings a fusion of golf domain knowledge, cross-industry leadership experience, and a challenger mindset. We’re agile, highly connected, and deeply focused on value—not volume. That allows us to deliver smarter, faster, and with a level of personal attention the traditional players simply can’t match.


In short, we don’t follow the playbook—we’re writing the next one.

Golf is evolving—and leadership must evolve with it.

We're not just here to help you find the next executive.

We’re here to help you find your edge
