Company details

  1. Business Networking Company

Written by the company

The idea for “FORE” Business came about in 2013 when the founders, Sean Fergusson & Arron Busst, met at a local networking event and got talking about golf as a common interest. They soon got round to talking about the business successes they had on the golf course. It became clear business and golf has always unofficially gone hand in hand. The green being the perfect ‘playing field’ for important business meetings, discussions and negotiations to take place; so “FORE” Business was born with the thought, ‘what better way to encourage successful business relationships, than to create an actual members club for business owners who enjoy golf and love to network?’. "FORE" Business now has over 1700 members across 120 groups that are part of our ever growing community. Our groups meet every month across the UK, USA, Spain and Dubai and we have seen in excess of £250 million pounds worth of new business being shared on and off the golf course. If your'e a business owner that loves to play golf and your business can take on more clients, please reach out to us to arrange a complimentary month under our Golden Ticket Programme.

New FORE Business Networking Venue

As a member in the North East of England for over 7-years now, I’ve found FORE Business to be a highly engaging and well-structured networking group, bringing together a strong mix of professionals in relaxed and positive environments.

I was particularly pleased to be part of the recent launch event at Hartlepool Golf Club this month. It was a well-organised day, with a great atmosphere and excellent opportunities to build new meaningful connections.

Great People, Great Golf, Great Referrals: "FORE" Business Works

I’ve been a member of "FORE" Business for almost 10 years and it’s been one of the best business decisions I’ve made.

A genuinely welcoming networking and golf community where relationships come first, and the business naturally follows.

What I’ve always valued is the calibre of people and the consistency. It’s not a room full of hard selling, it’s a community built on trust, shared experiences on the course, and real support between members.

Over the years, I’ve generated a significant amount of business through the connections I’ve made, but just as importantly, I’ve built long-term friendships and a strong network I can rely on.

As the owner of Lemon Fresh Marketing, I help local businesses get more enquiries and calls by improving their local search presence, and "FORE" Business has been a fantastic environment for meeting the right people and having meaningful conversations.

The introductions are genuine, the opportunities are real, and the community spirit is something you feel from day one.

If you’re looking for a professional, enjoyable way to grow your network, play more golf, and do business with great people, I can honestly recommend "FORE" Business.

Thanks again for your continued support and for representing the spirit of FORE Business so well.

All the best!!!!

This a fantastic networking organisation, involving meeting and playing golf at some truly superb courses across the UK and internationally.

I joined FORE BusinesFantastic networking community – real relationships and real opportunities to meet…

I joined FORE Business to meet like-minded business owners in a relaxed setting that actually works. The mix of structured networking and time on the golf course creates proper conversations, not the usual rushed pitch-fest.

The community is welcoming, well organised and genuinely supportive, with people happy to make introductions, share advice and look out for each other. The local group meetings are great along with the wider national/community virtual meetings that adds even more value beyond just one event a month.

If you enjoy golf and you take building relationships seriously, FORE Business is a brilliant way to grow your network and open new opportunities – while actually enjoying the process (which is the whole point).

Looking forward to many more great rounds, conversations and opportunities ahead!

2 years in…..

I’ve been a member of the Fore Business networking group for over two years and have genuinely loved being part of it. The community is friendly, welcoming, and makes networking feel easy and enjoyable rather than awkward or forced.
I’ve made some great business connections along the way, as well as a few really good friendships, which says a lot about the people involved. It’s a brilliant mix of networking and getting out to play golf with like-minded individuals in a relaxed setting.
I’d definitely encourage anyone considering it to give Fore Business a go and enjoy the benefits of networking while having a good round of golf at the same time.

In addition, we've found some superb suppliers, many we still use today.
Finally, I've met some amazing people that have been a great sounding board as it's almost entirely business owners.
Invaluable!

There is more to Fore Business than just Golf.... try it.

I have recently re-joined Fore Business, having previously been a member for 8 years. I am now a member at Woking and have joined as a Flexi Member, looking to move to Flexi+. I re-joined, as I enjoy networking and meeting not only existing business associates, but meeting others. This helps me retain the go to person, as people always ask, do you know somebody who can.... Where else, can you enjoy your passion of golf and learn about other businesses. I am an Alternative Financial Planner. I focus on you the client and not not your wealth. I help provide clarity and direction to ensure you live the life you want and you know when your financial independence day is. Geoff Dyckes Financial Consultancy.

We love how you’ve captured the essence of FORE – building genuine relationships, enjoying a shared passion for golf, and being able to connect members with the right people when it matters most. Your client-first approach as an Alternative Financial Planner is a perfect example of the expertise and mindset our community is built around.

We’re delighted to have you back and wish you every success with your networking and continued growth within FORE.

“More than Golf – It's Network, Accountability, and Momentum”

“More than Golf – It's Network, Accountability, and Momentum”

I've been a member of Fore Business at Croydon – Farleigh for 6 months now. What started as a golf meet quickly became part of my business rhythm.

As a founder in cybersecurity, I value relationships built on trust and consistency. Fore delivers that.

• The monthly golf meets keep me accountable to show up, connect, and talk real business.
• The quality of conversations is high — no pitching, just genuine interest and shared experience.
• I’ve picked up new contacts and ideas I’ve applied straight back into GOIA Technologies Ltd.

But what’s more valuable is the energy. Being around ambitious, like-minded professionals each month sharpens your focus. You feel less alone. More motivated. And more connected.

If you’re running your own business, want growth and like golf, Fore is worth your time. It’s golf with purpose.

We truly value having professionals like yourself in the community and look forward to many more rounds of purposeful golf, insightful discussions, and shared success.

See you on the course soon.

I joined the Milton Keynes group as a corporate flexi member 5 months ago, and have attended 2 events each month ever since. It’s enabled me to make a number of connections across different industries that I never would’ve met otherwise.

Would definitely recommend joining and giving it a try.

Fore Business is Definitely worth a try

I joined Fore Business in August 2025 and it's by far the best business networking group I know of for business owners. And as a bonus we get to play golf at least once a month and have the opportunity to play some great new courses.
If you enjoy playing golf and you're a business owner then this group is definitely worth trying
