“The Kew Golf Club has recently used the services of Guy Chapple from WellPlayed in our search for a new Chief Executive Officer. Our club is extremely pleased with both the process and result that Guy has achieved.
In this search, Guy has used his extensive contacts and advertised appropriately to bring us a strong field of candidates. He then performed comprehensive background assessments of all candidates before presenting an excellent shortlist to the club. He was very strong in his belief in sticking to his recommended process – a major contributing factor to our successful outcome.
Guy was readily available and demonstrated great communication skills in leading our interviews. He was also then a great mediator of our decision- making discussions.
He demonstrated a very professional approach at all times and was a pleasure to work with. I have no hesitation in recommending Guy for future projects in the golf industry.”

“Woodlands Golf Club engaged Guy Chapple, WellPlayed, as we started the search to find a new General Manager. From the outset, Guy was engaged, responsive and communicated excellently with the panel leading the recruitment process.
Guy advertised the role and also identified candidates from his extensive database. Over the two month period, Guy provided expert analysis of the applicants, a rigorous approach to whittling the field into a manageable number and leading the first round of interviews. This ultimately lead to final interviews and the selection of a preferred candidate which in turn lead to an offer of appointment that the preferred candidate accepted.
I would not hesitate to recommend Guy’s services to any golf club seeking to recruit into their senior management teams.”

“The process of recruiting a General Manager to run our new 59club Australia & New Zealand division on the other side of the globe could have been a daunting task, but the second we engaged with Guy, we knew we were in good hands.
Guy’s insight and expertise was invaluable; nothing was ever too much trouble; Guy managed the whole process for us, reaching out and liaising with potential candidates, setting up the interview schedule and co-ordinating all of this activity under the restraints of significant time-zone differences - it was as if we were all there together in person throughout the entire process.
And its thanks to WellPlayed’s recruitment service, that we successfully attracted the perfect candidate to take our global operations into Australia & New Zealand, and we look forward to continuing 59club’s relationship with WellPlayed as our business continues to grow in the region.”

“Sanctuary Lakes Golf Club posed a difficult brief to Guy, at a time when the market for new staff was limited. Our brief was to find a business manager with an interest in golf, who could take the Club to the next level. Guy set out a clear process and time line to achieve that objective. His extensive connections inside and outside golf, allowed us to select from an good quality field.
Needless to say that our objective was met and we have secured an excellent GM with a diverse business background and an interest in golf. Thanks Guy.”
