Simon Elsworth, Syngenta Head of Turf & Landscape EAME, said: “The CMAE plays an important role in the professional development of golf club managers and the sharing of best practice.
“The CMAE’s approach is consistent with Syngenta’s objective to create thriving, successful golf club businesses and we look forward to continuing to work with the CMAE in a partnership that we believe positively advances the long-term sustainability of the golf industry.”
Syngenta invests in the golf industry from the ground up. From world-class scientific research and development of turf and sustainability solutions to ground-breaking participation initiatives, Syngenta is committed to its objective of ‘Unlocking Golf’s True Potential’.
Michael Braidwood, Director of Education at the CMAE, said: “Syngenta is a leader and a pioneer in the golf industry and we will be sharing its industry sustainability initiatives and solutions with our members via our communications and events.
