Crosnier commented: “It’s an honour for us to again be title sponsor for this significant award as part of BIGGA’s annual celebration at BTME.
“The team at Walton Heath delivered incredibly impressive conditions this year for both the US Open Final Qualifying and one of the most significant events in the women’s game, the AIG Women’s Open. The team overcame a number of setbacks to present the course in great shape on both occasions,” she added.
This award recognises that the success of any tournament depends upon the expertise and dedication of the greenkeeping team. From local club championships through to golf’s professional tours – all are only made possible due to the work of greenkeepers who go above and beyond to present the finest playing surfaces possible.
Also nominated for the award were:
- Paisley Golf Club – led by Course Manager, Jonathan Caldwell, for hosting the Scottish Golf Men’s Area Team Championship Finals in September 2023
- Portlethen Golf Club – led by Head Greenkeeper, Neil Sadler for hosting the Scottish Golf Boy’s Under 16 Open Championship in July 2023
