Bernhard and Company
has become the latest turf industry organisation to formalise its support of
members of the British & International Golf Greenkeepers Association by
becoming an official BIGGA Partner.
Bernhard and Company
began working alongside BIGGA in 1998 and since 2002 has sponsored the annual
BIGGA Delegation to America.
Each year 10 members
are flown to the United States, where they undertake a range of course visits
and educational opportunities, before representing both Bernhard and BIGGA at
the GCSAA’s Golf Industry Show.
Over the years some
160 BIGGA members have benefitted from this incredible opportunity.
A specialist in
sports turf technology, Bernhard is committed to providing innovative turf care
solutions to golf courses and sports turf facilities worldwide. From blade
sharpening systems to sports surface air movement and moisture control
solutions to supplementary lighting solutions, the Bernhard product portfolio
is focused on providing its global customer base with championship turf and
world class playability.
Bernhard and Company
Director Steve Nixon said: “We are very proud to have been involved with BIGGA
for the last 20 years. As an education supporter and sponsor of the delegation
for the last 16 years, we believe we have provided some fantastic opportunities
to greenkeepers.
“We firmly believe
in education, and with our approach to turf health, we are very keen to support
BIGGA and the industry and help develop skills and knowledge on turf health
solutions.”
BIGGA Chief
Executive Jim Croxton said: “Bernhard and Company are magnificent supporters of
BIGGA members, not just through the BIGGA Delegation each year, but also their
commitment to education and innovation.
“We are hugely proud
of our relationship with all our Partners and grateful for the extraordinary
support they provide for our membership. I’m delighted to welcome Bernhard and
Company to the fold.”
