Book a golf show with PGA professional Mark Reynolds

Looking for a moment your guests will genuinely remember? A golf show — also called a golf trick show — is one of the most visual and surprising ways to lift a golf day, company event or club anniversary. In a short time your guests see just what is possible with a golf ball: from shots that seem to defy logic to stories from inside professional golf. This page explains exactly what a golf show involves, which occasions it suits, what your guests can expect and how to book Mark Reynolds.

The golf shows are delivered by Mark Reynolds, a PGA professional since 1995 and founder of MrGolfbal.nl. As the "Trick Pro" he combines decades of tournament experience with an infectious show that reaches the seasoned golfer and the complete newcomer alike. He can be booked for almost any venue: a golf club, a driving range, a company site or an events hall — in the Netherlands, elsewhere in Europe and, on request, well beyond.

What is a golf show or golf trick show?

A golf show is a live performance in which a golf professional demonstrates what is possible with technique, timing and creativity using a club and a ball. Where an ordinary demonstration sticks to tidy shots, a golf trick show goes further: unusual balls, uncommon clubs, shots from impossible stances and moments that make your guests laugh out loud or watch in disbelief. It is entertainment with a core of real craft — no conjuring, but years of honed skill that looks effortless.

Importantly, a good golf show is not only about the shots themselves, but about the story around them. Mark carries his audience through the show with explanation, anecdotes and interaction, so that even someone who has never held a club understands what they are watching. That makes golf entertainment accessible to a mixed audience of clients, staff and relations. If you would like to combine the show with active play, a follow-up clinic is a natural next step — more on that below.

Which occasions does a golf show suit?

A golf show is surprisingly flexible and fits a wide range of moments. The most-requested occasions are:

Company events and relation days. A golf show during a company golf day or client event gives the programme a professional highlight. While your guests are already on the course, the show creates a shared moment that binds the day together and provides talking points over dinner.

Club anniversaries and member events. For golf clubs, a golf show is a rewarding way to mark an anniversary, an opening day or a members' celebration. It is a gift to the members that suits the sport itself and lets generations of golfers enjoy it together.

Course openings and sponsor events. At the opening of a new course, a renovated hole or a sponsor activation, a show adds shine to the moment and draws the attention of press and public. At product launches too — where golf serves as a theme or backdrop — a trick show adds an unexpected and shareable element.

Wherever people gather around golf, or wherever you want to give an event a sporty, surprising twist, a golf show is at home. Not sure whether your occasion fits? Put your situation to us via contact — Mark will give you honest advice.

What can your guests expect?

Mark's golf show revolves around three ingredients that together make the experience. First, the trick shots: shots your guests will not soon see elsewhere, executed with control and timing that only years of experience bring. Second, the skill: the precision and ball feel of a professional who has played at the highest amateur and pro level, visible up close. And third, the humour and interaction: Mark draws his audience in, responds to reactions and keeps the tone light, so the show stays enjoyable for everyone — for single-figure handicappers as much as for anyone who has never teed off.

Exactly what you will see is tailored to your audience, the venue and the time available. We agree the precise content and duration of the show in advance, so the performance fits your programme. That way you can be sure the show connects with the rest of your day and with your guests' expectations.

Combining a golf show with a golf clinic

Many clients choose to combine the show with a golf clinic. The logic is appealing: first your guests watch in amazement during the show, and afterwards they get to try it themselves under the guidance of the same professional. That order works: the show breaks the ice and builds enthusiasm, the clinic makes it personal and active.

In a clinic your guests receive, in small groups, an explanation of the basics — posture, grip and the first swing — with short, constructive tips that deliver immediate results. For experienced golfers, the focus can instead fall on a specific part of their game. Because Mark is a PGA professional who teaches daily, that guidance is expert and personal. If you want to combine clinic and show for a corporate day, do also look at the options around a complete company golf day.

Why book Mark Reynolds?

A golf show stands or falls with the professional who delivers it. Mark Reynolds combines entertainment with a track record few can match. He has been a PGA professional since 1995 and completed his PGA training under Simon Thornhill at Rotherham Golf Club in England. Born in 1978 in Maltby (Rotherham), he started golf at the age of five and moved to the Netherlands in 2000, where he founded a golf school at Golf Centrum Noordwijk in 2001. Since 2014 he has been based at The International golf club near Badhoevedorp (Amsterdam).

That credibility translates into a show that entertains and at the same time shows what is technically possible. You can read more about his background on the about Mark page.

How does booking a golf show work?

Booking a golf show starts with a conversation. You let us know what kind of occasion it is, where and when it takes place, how many guests you expect and whether you would like to combine the show with a clinic. On that basis Mark tailors the content and you receive a bespoke proposal. Prices and availability depend on the date, venue and the desired format.

Because Mark can be booked for golf clubs and companies in the Netherlands, elsewhere in Europe and, on request, beyond, it is wise to get in touch early — certainly for dates in the busy golf season. Request your golf show via the contact page. Considering a multi-day golf experience alongside the show? Then look at the golf trips with Mark, or discover how to round off your event with printed golf balls for businesses. You will find all business applications gathered under applications.

Where Mark performs his golf show

A golf show need not be tied to a single kind of venue. Mark Reynolds performs his golf show throughout the Netherlands, elsewhere in Europe and, on request, further afield — at golf clubs and driving ranges, but equally on company grounds, an exhibition floor, a country estate or an events hall. Wherever there is room to strike a ball safely, a show is possible: from a generous outdoor teeing area to an adapted indoor set-up when the weather turns.

That broad reach is deliberate. Clients are not always on a course: a technology firm hosting a client day, a municipality opening a sports park, or a society kicking off its season — each can bring a golf show to their own location. Mark travels to the venue and tailors the format to the available space, the surface and the audience, so golf entertainment stays within reach in the heart of the Randstad as readily as further out in Europe. Not sure your venue is suitable? Outline the situation briefly via contact and you will get an honest answer quickly.

Formats and occasions to suit the event

No two events are the same, and to book a golf show well means the performance bends to fit the programme — not the other way round. On a member day it works as a shared highlight that brings golfers of every generation together. At an opening or a sponsor activation the golf trick show acts as the eye-catcher that draws press and guests to one spot. And at a corporate golf day or client event, the show lends the whole occasion a professional edge without taking it over.

Beyond the course the occasions are plentiful too: a product launch with golf as its theme, a staff party, an anniversary, or a networking reception that needs a little more than canapés. The core of the show stays constant — skill, trick shots, story and interaction — but the length, tone and emphasis are tuned to whoever is in the room or on the grass. For a fully arranged corporate day, combine the show with the approach around a company golf day; every business option is gathered under applications.

What makes a golf show truly land

The trick shots are what people remember, but the reason a golf show stays with an audience often lies in the things around it. Timing, for one: a show that runs just long enough and peaks at the right moment leaves a group satisfied rather than restless. Atmosphere is another — Mark reads his audience, varies the pace and keeps even the non-golfers engaged. That feel for a room does not come from a script but from years of performing in front of a crowd.

Then there is the unseen craft. A successful show accounts for safety, for the surface and for the guests' sightlines, so everyone has a clear view and no one stands in a ball's path. Weather, wind and available space are all weighed up and the set-up adjusted accordingly. Precisely because this runs smoothly, it goes unnoticed — leaving your guests with only the golf entertainment itself: the laughter, the disbelief and the applause. You can read more about the experience behind that apparent ease on the about Mark page.

A golf show and clinic as a full-day programme

If you need to fill an event that runs longer than a single performance, a show and a golf clinic together form a natural rhythm to the day. The show opens: it breaks the ice, builds enthusiasm and gives your guests something to talk about. You then switch to the active part, in which the same professional gets the group playing themselves. For larger parties you can work in rotating stations, so everyone gets their turn while the energy stays high.

That structure does more than pass the time. The show sets the tone and lowers the threshold, so guests who are normally reluctant join in more readily during the clinic. Watching together turns into trying together, and that strengthens the sense of group — exactly what you want at a team day or client event. The exact content, group size and timing are agreed in advance, so show and clinic dovetail neatly with each other and with the rest of your day.

How planning your golf show works

To book a golf show need not be complicated, but a little preparation makes the difference. It helps to have a few things ready with your enquiry: the date or period, the venue, the expected number of guests, the character of the event, and whether you might extend the show with a clinic. With that information Mark can think along purposefully from the outset and work up a tailored proposal.

Bear the season in mind. During the busy golfing months and around the holidays, sought-after dates fill up fast, so getting in touch early improves the chance your preferred date is free. Fee and availability depend on date, venue and the format you want. Thinking of more than a single day of golf together? Take a look at the multi-day golf trips with Mark, or round off your event with printed golf balls for businesses as a keepsake.
