Club ambassador Lee Westwood said

“It’s a real once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the eventual winner to play a part in the British Masters and tee it up with some of the world’s very best golfers.”

This will be a truly defining moment (both memorable and meaningful) for the junior golfers. I am sure it will spark positive emotions. At the same time, it will also cause them pride as they will play at a European Tour venue.

I thought to highlight this because it has a significant contribution to customer experience development & word of mouth communication.

Now they just have to think about how to create special moments during the event to further enhance their experience. Will they develop a customer journey map for this purpose??
