GMANZ News

Pleasing to note that the number of NZ affiliated golf club members has risen 2% nationally over the last 3 months possibly as a direct result of the fine weather. The number of rounds being played in in the same time has also increased but is still not enough to make up the deficits from the very wet 2017 winter which had such a negative effect on many clubs’ 2017 financial results.

2018 promises to be a very exciting educational year for GMANZ with a team of 8 managers heading off to San Francisco for the CMAA World Conference. By attending the required number of conference educational sessions during the week-long conference they will gain 30 credits towards their BMI qualification.

GMANZ is very active in the education space with 16 members enrolled for BMI Golf Management in April together with a number attending BMI International in October.

The highlight will be the 8th Biennial GMANZ Conference in Queenstown 0n 9-11 October. With a theme of Innovate->Change->Success this 2-day event opens up with a full day of guest speakers from around the world, while day 2 pitches the programme directly back at the attendees to bring an open mind to the table and by way of an Ask the Expert session and a 3 session Hackfest come up with new strategic initiatives that delegates will be able to take back to their clubs to implement.

New GMANZ website goes live. 

Over the last 3-4 months we have been working with Announce Design to redesign our GMANZ website and now very proud to announce that the site is live.You can check it out by going to www.golfmanagers.co.nz.
