Ten GCSAA Class A members will travel to the British & International Golf Greenkeepers Association’s (BIGGA) Turf Management Exhibition (BTME), Jan. 21-26, 2008 in Harrogate, England.
Bernhard and Company, manufacturers of Express Dual and Anglemaster, is sponsoring the delegation for a second year as part of their ongoing educational initiative.
Delegates chosen will have the opportunity to attend Europe’s largest golf and sports turf managers conference and exhibition. Attendees will participate in education seminars, network with greenkeepers from the UK and Europe, and visit several different styles of golf courses in England.
2007 Delegate Ken Williams, GCSAA Certified Golf Course Superintendent at Stanford University Golf Club said; “becoming a GCSAA Delegate and attending BTME was one of the best things I've done professionally as a superintendent. I was able to travel to the UK with nine other top US superintendents and share experiences. Everyone at BIGGA and BTME went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience at their conference and show. It was something that truly inspired me and something I will always remember.”
Bernhard and Co. will cover expenses for airfare, accommodation, conference registration, education seminars and transportation.
Based in Rugby, England, Bernhard and Company is a long established horticultural and manufacturing enterprise whose origins date back to the 1880’s and introduced spin grinding machines to the world.
