Whether you're from the golf, sportsfield, supply chain or any other turf industry sector, we would like to see your name on our new member list!
Why? Because far more can be accomplished together than by each sector working on their own. One voice, pulling the same direction, avoiding duplication, whatever the cliche, it's the most effective and sensible approach, especially when our industry needs to face tough issues.
