BTME: A platform for collaboration across the whole golf industry

Harrogate will again set the stage for Europe’s premier turf management exhibition, with something on offer for everyone in the golf industry.

The BIGGA Turf Management Exhibition begins in Harrogate next week, providing a platform for key stakeholders from across the industry to come together.

The GCMA will be at the event in Harrogate supporting our friends at BIGGA, with both organisations having confirmed the continuation of their collaborative efforts through 2025 to promote education and professional development within the golf industry.

This partnership underscores a shared commitment to elevate the standards of golf club management and course maintenance through innovative learning initiatives.

BIGGA are proud to endorse the recently launched GCMA Advanced Management Programme, designed to equip golf club managers with the advanced skills and knowledge necessary to excel in today’s competitive environment.

In that same spirit of collaboration and mutual respect, the GCMA will be on the ground meeting with fellow attendees and strengthening the professional synergy between Club and Course Manager.

Tom Brooke (CEO), Gareth Morgan (PD Manager) and Darren Wood (Partnerships Manager) will all be in Harrogate and are actively encouraging General Managers to send their greenkeeping teams and Course Managers along to BTME to allow them to benefit from the exhibitors, talks and networking opportunities the Expo brings.

General Managers are themselves welcome to attend and gain an insight into the work that greenkeepers do and the level of skill and professionalism within that vital component of the golf industry.

It is something BIGGA Chairperson Steve Lloyd is eager to see more of. He said: “I’d encourage Golf Club Managers to come along. It is an opportunity to see what the greenkeeping profession does and the level of education being delivered.

“It’s important for any successful golf club to have a positive working relationship between Course Managers and Club Managers.

“BTME provides an opportunity to bring everyone together, including exhibitors and other professionals from across the industry, to foster a greater sense of collaboration.”
