John Deere team up with EGU for Club Roadshows
John Deere has agreed to sponsor the English Golf Union Golf
Club roadshows that are taking place around the country during
October and November.
The roadshows are now in their 10th year and provide an opportunity
for club secretaries, course managers and other staff to keep
up to date with the latest environmental and operational issues
facing clubs.
There are six venues this year all of which will offer ecology
and agronomy presentations on each golf course as well as
in-house presentations on issues including waste and water
management, insurance and equipment finance. A key part of
each roadshow is also the hands on machinery demonstration,
which this year is being provided by John Deere.
The EGU have also secured the Chief Operating Officer of
the England Golf Partnership to speak at each of the venues,
providing an ideal opportunity for clubs to find out about
the £9.2 million grant being received from Sport England
over the next four years to boost English golf.
Neil Hayward, EGU Assistant Secretary said, “We are
delighted that John Deere have agreed to support the EGU roadshows
this year. These events always prove to be popular and having
such a valued name working with us is an added bonus.”
The first roadshow takes place at Betchworth Park Golf Club,
Surrey on 10th October and dates continue through to the 2nd
November.
David Hart, commercial & consumer equipment division
manager of John Deere, commented, “The EGU roadshows
offer us a great opportunity to speak to golf club staff in
a friendly environment whilst still allowing us to provide
one to one attention where required. We are looking forward
to attending all the venues and to meeting existing and new
colleagues and customers.”
The roadshows are free of charge to attend and refreshments
and lunch are included. To reserve places at one of the events
