We are delighted to announce an exciting new alliance between the tennis section at Exeter Golf and Country Club and Lexus Exeter, in a drive to raise the profile of tennis locally, and encourage more people to take up the sport.
We have formed a doubles partnership with the premium car dealership based in Marsh Barton, as part of a major worldwide collaboration between Lexus, the Lawn Tennis Association and the Association of Tennis Professionals.
At national level, Lexus has become the LTA’s Official Performance Partner and Official Automotive Partner. Globally, the company has embarked on a multi-year partnership with the ATP which has seen it become Official Automotive Partner and Platinum Partner of the ATP Tour.
Individual Lexus dealerships across the UK are involved too, with Lexus Exeter, and Exeter Golf and Country Club, hoping this new relationship in Devon will work to everyone’s advantage.
Lexus Exeter will provide support to our club in a number of ways. The dealership will supply a car for use at the premises; Lexus-branded shirts will be provided for coaches and team players; and there will be cosy hoodies for junior members to wear in winter.
Adult club members will be able to obtain discounts on Lexus servicing and sales; and enter competitions for special Lexus-sponsored masterclasses with The Tennis Mentor, who Lexus Exeter have also partnered with as part of these activities.
The new partnership will also involve Exeter Golf and Country Club holding a special Davis Cup-style tournament for the local business community this autumn and a prestigious Lexus Cup competition next March.
In addition, a Lexus Exeter family fun day will take place at the club in the run-up to Wimbledon in 2025, with loads to enjoy such as tennis tutorials; a chance to explore the country club’s facilities; question-and-answer sessions and a barbecue.
Chris Batey, General Manager of Lexus Exeter said: ‘‘We are delighted to be partnering with the Tennis team at Exeter Golf and Country Club to help promote the club’s wonderful centre and encourage more people to take up this fabulous sport.
‘‘We very much look forward to meeting the members and can’t wait for our busy calendar of events to get under way.’’
