💚 A fond farewell to Jenny Bledge After more than three and a half years with BIGGA, Jenny Bledge will be leaving us to take on her next challenge. During her time with BIGGA, Jenny has made a significant contribution to the Association, building strong relationships with members and colleagues across the wider golf industry. A particular highlight has been her work to establish and develop First Green, creating a programme that introduces young people to greenkeeping and the opportunities available within our industry. First Green is now firmly established and will continue to grow and develop in the years ahead. We’d like to thank Jenny for all her hard work and commitment during her time with BIGGA and for the contribution she has made to the Association and our members. We wish her every happiness and success for the future. Good luck, Jenny! 💚

🎙️ Episode 7 of The BIGGA Podcast is now live! For this episode, we are joined by BIGGAs Rob Phillips. Rob has experienced the greenkeeping industry from almost every angle. He began as a trainee greenkeeper at Porters Park Golf Club in 1986, spent 21 years as course manager at Sandy Lodge and later moved into apprenticeship training before becoming BIGGA's Education Director. Today, he oversees an education offer stretching from the entry-level BIGGA Kickstart programme through formal qualifications and continuing professional development to Master Greenkeeper. His work also includes the Professional Leadership Programme, created to help greenkeepers develop the communication and management skills required as their responsibilities grow. Rob joins us to discuss his own journey through the industry, the support available at every stage of a greenkeeping career and why professional recognition can help course managers earn a stronger voice within their clubs. He also reflects on what he misses about life on the golf course, although 4am alarms do not make the list. 🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts, and don't forget to subscribe so you never miss a future episode. #TheBIGGAPodcast #BIGGA #Greenkeeping #GolfCourseManagement #GolfPodcast
