Held in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Continue to Learn runs alongside the BIGGA Turf Management Exhibition (BTME), itself the leading trade show for golf course professionals in Europe. Continue to Learn provides more than 140 hours of learning opportunities for golf greenkeepers and groundspeople, making it among the most influential events in the golfing calendar.

The R&A is a long-time supporter of BIGGA and its members and in recent years has demonstrated its commitment to BTME and Continue to Learn by hosting presentations that offer guidance based on expert research and experience of staging major events. R&A representatives have been a mainstay on the Continue to Learn programme for many years, providing world-leading agronomic advice and hosting panel discussions in the context of historic championships held throughout the year. The Golf Course 2030 programme was launched at Continue to Learn in 2018 and research participants have returned each year to discuss their findings and proposals.

For the first time, in 2025 The R&A will be recognised as formally supporting the Continue to Learn Conference programme, which comprises of a major two-day learning event and a separate New Greenkeeper Conference. Additionally, R&A representatives will participate in various Classes and contribute towards cost-free learning opportunities such as the Seminars and the BTME Breakfast Session.

Next year (2025) will also mark the 20^th anniversary of The R&A’s Greenkeeping Scholarship and events are anticipated to take place at BTME and Continue to Learn to mark the occasion. To date, over 500 greenkeepers from 30 countries have benefitted from this influential scholarship opportunity.

Jim Croxton, BIGGA CEO, said: “As a governing body for golf, representing over 61 million golfers in 145 countries, we’re proud The R&A has recognised the pivotal role greenkeepers play in the success of the sport through this commitment to supporting the Continue to Learn Conference programme and wider education opportunities provided by our annual gathering, BTME.

“Creating our annual programme of learning experiences and hosting it within the context of a massive trade show takes significant effort and we’re proud that for many years The R&A has recognised just how valuable BTME and Continue to Learn have become to the entire golfing industry. We thank everyone at The R&A for investing in our members and the wider turf management industry in this way as it will only enhance the BTME experience for everyone involved and help ensure the game is still thriving in 50 years’ time.”

INFINICUT® to make impressive return to SALTEX

September 17, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Admin

INFINICUT^® to make impressive return to SALTEX: DEWALT INFINICUT^® are set to make an impressive return to SALTEX this October with a showcase of their latest innovations.

Long time exhibitors at the show, INFINICUT^® will for the first time be joined by their parent company, DEWALT, who will be bringing an exciting range of complementary outdoor and power equipment to stand E065.

INFINICUT® to make impressive return to SALTEX

Well-known and regarded for their innovative flair and industry-leading collection of pedestrian cylinder and rotary mowers, INFINICUT^® will be bringing the latest iteration to the NEC this year. Following on from the launch of their hugely successful FL22” mower last year, SALTEX will see the introduction of a new 26” Fixed Head (FX) model, utilising the company’s new dedicated cutting head technology.

Incorporating many of the features synonymous with the INFINICUT^® range, the new 26” FX will feature a newly designed cutting unit platform that can incorporate a much wider variance in cutting height without compromising attitude angle. The TMSystem™ remains able to be integrated easily and quickly, while an all-new grass basket utilised high-end computational fluid dynamics during the design process and minimises air turbulence to further enhance clipping collection. These features make the new INFINICUT^®FX26 ideally suited to the precision cutting on golf, tennis and cricket surfaces.

Not content to stop there, INFINICUT^® will also be bringing a further, much-awaited, addition to their mower line-up, as well as making their first foray into app-based disease control. While details on both innovations are being kept closely under wraps at this time, visitors to stand E065 can be the first to find out more by speaking with a member of the technical team, on hand across the two days.
