Commenting on the course, Lodewijk Klootwijk, CEO of the Golf Course Association of Europe said “The Golf business is people-business. Nothing more important than all the good people that work in our industry. And the best investment we can make is in them. Invest in their education. And this starts with the management of the golf courses. Therefore, we are delighted to be partnering up with CMAE for the first MDP. We believe strongly in the quality of the education delivered by the CMAE and the added value it has for the managers involved. We look forward to co-host the group in February close to Amsterdam.”

Torbjorn Johansson, Director of Education for the CMAE added “We are glad to be expanding the Management Development Programme into new territories and are delighted to be able to work collaboratively and have the support of the Dutch Golf Federation, the Club Managers Association of Holland, the Netherland Golf Course Association and the Golf Course Association of Europe. The taster event we held in Amsterdam a few months ago was a great success and it made complete sense to bring the MDP to Amsterdam where there was so much interest and passion for education”
