For the third year in a row, grinder manufacturer Bernhard and Co., will send 10 GCSAA Class A members to the British & International Golf Greenkeepers Association’s (BIGGA) Turf Management Exhibition (BTME) January 18-22 in Harrogate, England.
Winners will have the opportunity to attend the conference and exhibition, participate in education seminars, network with greenkeepers from the United Kingdom and Europe and visit golf courses in England. Bernhard Co. covers expenses for airfare, accommodation, conference registration, education seminars and transportation.
“Every GCSAA member should apply for this unbelievably awesome opportunity to experience what golf course maintenance is like in England and how they conduct their national educational conference in Harrogate,” says Chris Gray, director of golf course pperations at the Marvel Golf Club in Benton, Ky., a 2008 GCSAA Delegate. “Once you have experienced the golf course industry in England, it will make you reevaluate the ways you do things at your own course. There are so many valuable tips that I learned from this trip that have had an immediate impact on the way that I operate my golf course, that I would never have known about if I didn’t make the trip.”
Interested GCSAA Class A members may apply by registering online at http://www.bernhard.co.uk/gcsaa-registration.0.html or calling 888-474-6348. Deadline for applications is November 14. Bernhard and Co. will notify the winners by December 5.
