International Thank a Greenkeeper Day on Tuesday 12 September

The British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association (BIGGA), in conjunction with other global greenkeeper and course superintendent groups, is recognising those who help keep golf courses enjoyable and sustainable with an international ‘Thank a Greenkeeper Day’.

Thank a Greenkeeper Day will be celebrated on Tuesday 12 September.

Celebrate the day with support on social media using #ThankAGreenkeeper

BIGGA, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) and other partner associations are encouraging those who love golf to take a moment to thank their course’s greenkeeping team.

The celebration will include media outlets and social media messages highlighting the many ways that greenkeepers benefit the game and golfers.

Others are encouraged to join in the conversation on social media using the hashtags #ThankAGreenkeeper or #ThankASuper, depending on their country’s nomenclature. In addition, golf courses and other groups are encouraged to provide special recognition for their greenkeeping teams on 12 September.
