The Club Managers Association of Europe (CMAE) delivered a very successful Management Development Programme (MDP) Part 2 at the Golf Nazionale Scuola Nazionale Di Golf Suti, Rome, the Federation of Golf Italy’s National Academy.
Nineteen delegates from golf clubs throughout Italy enjoyed presentations by leading educators, including Bill Sanderson, Helen Bennett and Kevin Fish CCM and carried out a case study investigation where they had to present their findings to a ‘Board’ at the end of the week.
Launched in 2011 the highly regarded MDP has been promoted and courses held throughout the UK and Europe. The programme delivers top class education to club managers and senior staff on all 10 core competencies of modern club management.
This latest week long course was underwritten and hosted by the Associazione Italiana Tecnici di Golf (AITG) who are members of CMAE. AITG firmly believes that progressive Club Manager Education will contribute to the continuing growth and development of clubs in Italy.
Their Chairman, Riccardo Tirotti, who gave the opening address at the programme said “we are delighted by the success of the MDP in Italy to date. We ran our first Part One course in April 2014 and are pleased to see so many of the delegates return. This week was well subscribed due to the quality of the education along with the fact that our delegates are seeing positive results back at their clubs”
The MDP pathway was originally developed by the Club Managers Association of America and thanks to their vision and generosity has been given to CMAE who have adapted the materials for the European Golf, Sports and City Club Markets.
The next course being organised by AITG will be a MDP Part 1 course in early 2016.
