Security for VIPs at Golf Days and Tournaments
Short answer: Golf events are relaxed but spread out over large, open courses with many access points. Discreet planning covers arrivals, movement around the course, clubhouse access and departures, coordinated with the club or tournament organiser.
Considerations
- Large open areas and public spectator routes at tournaments.
- Club dress codes for any officer on site.
- Buggy and vehicle movements.
- Evening dinners and departures.
Corporate golf days
Hosts should share guest lists with the club, agree parking and decide whether any guests need personal protection.
Discretion
Officers dress for the setting and keep a respectful distance.
Checking a provider
Check any officer on the SIA public register before appointing them. Ask for a written risk assessment, clear confidentiality terms and the names of the officers who will attend.
