In the most recent edition of Your Course, a semiannual publication produced by the British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association (BIGGA), the author, colloquially referred to as ‘Crouchy,’ articulates his gratitude for the diligent efforts of greenkeepers and groundsmen.

These dedicated professionals enable elite athletes, including himself, to excel in their respective sports, whether on the football field or the golf course.

Your Course is a print magazine distributed biannually to golf clubs throughout the United Kingdom in conjunction with National Club Golfer.

This publication, created by 18Players in partnership with BIGGA, is further enhanced by an expanding range of online features accessible via the BIGGA website.

The magazine also includes discussions with the course management teams at The Belfry and St Andrews Links Trust.

Additionally, it contains comprehensive sections that examine greens maintenance practices and the increasing incorporation of autonomous technology in golf course management.

Your Course is designed to inspire awareness of the greenkeeping profession and the crucial role greenkeepers play in golf’s ongoing success.

By showcasing today’s course professionals’ expertise, training, and skill, BIGGA aims to restore recognition for greenkeepers, who have often been overlooked in the sport, from major championships to grassroots levels.
