Staff Development

Staff education and continued professional development is an important part of the club's strategic plan and ensuring our team continue to develop and learn within the industry.

We are happy to report that Mark Mills our greenkeeper has been selected to participate in the Future Turf Managers Initiative (FTMI).  Mark is one of two New Zealanders selected and we have no doubt he will represent the club to the higest quality.

The FTMI will provide participants with people management, communication and budgeting skills as well as providing ongoing mentorship.

The initiative will take place between November 2022 and March 2023.  There are four, 90-min online training sessions and four online mentor group sessions.  At the completion of the online component there will be a 2.5 day face to face intensive training including presentations, workshops, team building exercises and a graduation dinner and ceremony which will be held in Melbourne.

We wish Mark all the best for the programme and no doubt he will bring back many benefiting skills learnt during his time through the programme.

Welcome New & Returning Members

Our membership waiting list is still closed and we have received 12 resignations since the new year commenced.
