The British and International Golf Greenkeepers’ Association (BIGGA) has announced the fifth annual Thank a Greenkeeper Day will take place on Tuesday September 9.
The global event celebrates the work carried out by greenkeepers and golf course staff to enable tens of millions of people to enjoy golf around the world. While the day is all about the thank you, it also aims to encourage proactive action across the industry to recognise the highly skilled role greenkeepers play.
BIGGA is asking everyone who appreciates the value of golf to share their own stories, pictures and messages of thanks on social media on the day. In the UK, use #ThankAGreenkeeper, while those overseas will be using #ThankASuper.
BIGGA is collaborating with the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), Australian Sports Turf Managers Association (ASTMA), Canadian Golf Superintendents Association (CGSA) and Federation of European Golf Greenkeeper Associations (FEGGA), among others, to make this year’s Thank a Greenkeeper Day more successful than ever. Together, these associations represent more than 31,000 golf course management professionals in 78 countries.
