Welcome to the Essex Section of BIGGA


The British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association (BIGGA) is dedicated to enhancing the professional reputation and well being of golf greenkeepers. The Association provides subsidised education and training opportunities to its members and promotes itself to the wider golfing and sporting community through its magazine, Greenkeeper International, its website, and Harrogate Week, a five day feast of workshops and seminars combined with the largest indoor trade exhibition of its type in Europe.

It also provides the greenkeeping support teams for both the BMW tournament at Wentworth in May and the  “The Open Championship”

in July.
