Ransomes Jacobsen has supported an exchange visit of Czech greenkeepers organised and facilitated by The Club Company. Six course managers from CZ Golf, a golf course operator and management company based in Prague, visited The Tytherington Club and spent a week working with Course Manager Sandy Anderson and his team, looking at best practice on a UK golf course.

Nick Brown, Export Business Development Manager at Ransomes Jacobsen, introduced the two companies following the signing of an exclusive supplier contract with CZ Golf by their Czech distributor ITTEC spol. s.r.o.

Explaining the rationale behind the visit he said, “During the negotiations I was asked if we would consider arranging an exchange visit so that the CZ greenkeeping team could improve their understanding of best practice as it applies to the UK. The Club Company is a similar organization to CZ Golf, but on a much larger scale and they are also a Ransomes Jacobsen national account. We contacted Chris Brook, their senior Course Manager who is responsible for all 12 courses within the group, and he immediately got things moving.”
