Inaugural Ransomes Jacobsen Trophy held at Cannington Centre (Bridgwater College)


Will Bowden and Ron Macrow with competitors


“I knew nothing about what goes in to preparing a golf course for play, I do now!”


Words of one of the participants of Bridgwater College’s new initiative


THE Golf Course at Cannington Centre hosted its inaugural Ransomes Jacobsen Trophy recently. The event was marketed by the college as an opportunity for young aspiring golfers to get involved in an educational experience, as well as compete for the trophy and prizes sponsored by Ransomes Jacobsen and Titleist. The day comprised a morning of educational demonstrations and ‘have a go’ practical’s that engaged the young participants, and explained to them all the effort that goes in to producing a golf course for their enjoyment. With the expert knowledge of Canningtons Head Greenkeeper, Hugh Murray, and support from PGA Professional Ron Macrow and Programme Manager Will Bowden, the day was a success, both educationally and competitively.


The College is running a Programme Lead NVQ 2,


alongside the traditional apprentice route for the first time this year, and the day was centred on encouraging potential students to see first hand the great facilities and opportunities that are available to them when they study at Cannington. Programme Manager for


Sportsturf, Will Bowden commented: “The day has been a great success. The sponsorship and support of Ransomes Jacobsen has been fantastic. Also, the positive attitude of our staff and first class resources have meant these kids have had a rare and much appreciated insight in to how a golf course looks and plays the way it does.” Cannington will aim to grow


this event and encourage the theme of linking a career in sportsturf with playing and enjoying the game. The college wishes to thank Ransomes Jacobsen for their positive support of all their educational programmes.
