Consultancy, Investigation, Support and Risk Management for Golf Club Conduct and Discipline Matters

Golf Clubs face a growing number of member and staff conduct issues ranging from inappropriate behaviour and breaches of playing rules to safeguarding concerns and criminal activity.
These incidents are impactive on the time and workload of club managers and can pose a serious threat to operational efficiency and leadership retention.
Internal investigations can lack professionalism, independence, consistency, and confidentiality, and often produce conflict for committee members, captains and volunteer club members tasked to investigate (or give a disciplinary finding to) their peers and fellow club members.
Ultimately a mis-managed disciplinary process and investigation can leave your Golf Club with reputational damage, very expensive legal costs and substantial damages to pay.
Club Conduct Solutions (CCS) support Golf Club General Managers across all stages of a discipline process, providing:
Whether it is a sensitive internal matter or a complex investigation, CCS brings discreet, professional, tailored support – allowing your leadership to focus on running the club, hence redirecting capacity where it is most needed.
CCS was founded and is led by Neil Ballard - a former Scotland Yard Detective Superintendent with 30 years of investigative experience at the highest level across the UK and beyond.
Neil also has recent relevant golf industry experience as a Golf Club Captain and having additionally served on the Board of a Golf Club as a Director.
CCS brings together a network of former detectives and expert professionals with extensive experience of investigations, risk management and disciplinary processes, adaptable to the diverse needs and challenges of the private sector, to ensure your club gets the highest level of support.
CCS also has extensive contacts throughout the golf industry to ensure consistency of approach.
CCS therefore combines elite investigative experience, disciplinary process expertise and professional risk management, with an insider understanding of Golf Club governance, and access to the required specialist investigative resources.
