    Security for VIPs at Golf Days and Tournaments

    Event SecurityBy Roy · Director, VIP Protection Services10 November 20263 min read

    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.
