Frank Newberry becomes GTC trainer
12th September, 2011 by Alistair Dunsmuir
A motivational speaker who has spoken at various GCMA events – and is speaking at the GCMA conference this November – has become a quality assured training provider for the Greenkeepers’ Training Committee (GTC), a provider of education and training for greenkeepers.
Frank Newberry (pictured) will provide communication workshops, motivational presentations and one-to-one guidance and support to individuals for the GTC.
Frank stated: “I believe that the GTC has never been in better shape to take on the challenge of expanding the take-up of education and higher professional standards in greenkeeping. I believe that the profession can truly advance and we will see performance standards rise if all of the GTC’s quality assured centres and training providers focus hard on helping all golf club employers. I would also suggest that priority should be given to those employers who have apathetic or fearful greenkeepers who are not currently energised and excited about education.”
