“I think golf will always be a very popular sport or recreational hobby, but I think golfers could do with a little more education on what we as greenkeepers are trying to achieve. I find golfers are very critical about operations being done on the course, yet with very little understanding of the science and why it is being carried out in the first place.”


“If you take a look at any greenkeepers forum, you will read many thoughts about our industry. I feel greenkeepers in general


are underpaid in comparison with other professional trades and are frustrated by restraint brought about by councils who often have no background in sports turf management or turf maintenance.”


“More needs to be done to educate others on what we are trying to achieve on the courses. I think BIGGA could also help raise our profiles,” he concluded.
