Who are the GTC?
The GTC is the independent organisation representing British golf club employers and greenkeepers through a Board of Directors, Technical Committee and two full-time employees.
Golf greenkeepers play a vital role in golf course maintenance and management.
Training courses and qualifications are available to allow ambitious and enthusiastic greenkeepers to work towards becoming greenkeeping management professionals.
The Greenkeepers Training Committee (the GTC) is dedicated to its objectives of improving and promoting the education and training of all golf greenkeepers. New golf courses are opening throughout Europe, to accommodate growing interest in the game. This means more opportunities for employment – and more chances for career advancement.
A comprehensive training manual, published by the GTC in several European languages, helps guide greenkeepers through their chosen career in association with recognised training providers.
The GTC Headquarters, based at Aldwark Manor in North Yorkshire has a committee which consists of representatives from the following;
- Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews
- British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association
- English Golf Union
- Scottish Golf Union
- Golf Union of Wales
This means that wherever you are in Great Britain, the GTC can help you whether you are a golf club employer, greenkeeper, or thinking about a career in greenkeeping.
The GTC supports the equality of opportunity for all groups of people and actively encourages all the golf clubs it represents to recruit in accordance with its Equal Opportunities Policy.
