General Manager Resources

As the national body for the golf course maintenance industry, the AGCSA is in a great position to assist golf clubs in their quest to provide the best course conditions and surrounding environment for members and players.  Those clubs whose maintenance personnel are members of the AGCSA can be assured that their employees are supported by an organisation that strives to further their professional development through the provision of ongoing conferences and workshops and a range of membership services. The AGCSA can also aid golf club management by:

• Helping clubs find the right golf course maintenance personnel, whether it is a superintendent or assistant superintendent through to turf equipment technician or turf management apprentice. The AGCSA can provide clubs with information on the local or national scene and advertise any golf course maintenance position through the AGCSA website (AGCSA member rate $220, non-member rate $250). The AGCSA’s Job Watch section is widely recognised as the number one place where turf industry members look for new jobs or place job ads.
• Assisting clubs with information on how to arrive at the best applicant with the AGCSA’s guide to employing a superintendent (this includes a sample employment contract).
• Providing a checklist for those clubs contemplating moving away from employing an in-house superintendent to contract maintenance.

The AGCSA also has a dedicated technical division which not only provides an array of agronomic diagnostic services for superintendents and turf managers, but can undertake consultancy work such as golf course inspections and agronomic audits. The AGCSA also has a dedicated HR and Best Practice Service (for more information about this service contact Daryl Sellar on 0408 322 397).
