Karen Proctor, director global marketing at Textron Golf, said: “This will be the sixth year that we will be welcome 20 selected BIGGA Members to take part in the Future Turf Managers Initiative.

“It’s a valuable personal and career development opportunity that we offer and we very much look forward to welcoming the Class of 2018 to our UK headquarters in Ipswich.”

Sami Strutt, head of Member Development at BIGGA said: “We saw an increase of almost 40 per cent in the number of applications received for FTMI 2018. Every year the selection process gets more difficult due to high quality applicants.

“The 20 successful candidates can expect to be challenged and pushed out of their comfort zone by the trainers, mentors and the Textron Golf and BIGGA teams, but they will definitely learn a lot and make some lifelong friends along the way.”
