4 years running now I’ve taken clients to the darts in Aberdeen, each time part of the treble twenty hospitality. The build up show is so much fun and gets the whole group ready for the main show. It’s something different than the usual entertainment of golf for the clients and now getting requests from them if I’ll be doing it in 2026! Big thanks to Mike Yarwood who has been supporting me since day one and making sure my clients get the best experience.
