There is a new name leading the British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association (BIGGA) after the appointment of Jim Croxton as the organisation's CEO.
He comes to BIGGA from the PGA, where he served most recently as sponsorship manager, and he previously served as regional secretary of the PGA North region and national tournament director.
In a statement Jim Croxton said: "I am proud and delighted to be appointed to this role and am looking forward immensely to working with the board of management and the excellent team at BIGGA House to continue the work of the association.
"The work of BIGGA members is fundamental to the future health of the game of golf and I am convinced that the board’s ambitions to raise the profile of this vital work are worthy and achievable."
The York-based BIGGA aims to enhance the professional reputation and well being of golf greenkeepers and other sports turf professionals.
