A Fresh Take on Golf Leadership for Superintendents and Greenkeepers

A new era of leadership education is teeing off across New Zealand golf.

The "All of Golf" Leadership Development Programme brings together people from every corner of the game—superintendents, greenkeepers, coaches, club managers, and administrators—to learn, connect, and lead with impact.

Developed and endorsed by NZGCSA, NZPGA, and CMA, this programme offers a uniquely golf‑specific approach to leadership growth.

No fluff. No theory overload. Just honest conversations, practical tools, and time to think, whether you are new to leadership or are looking sharpen your current skills.

Programme Highlights:

  • Build essential leadership skills tailored to the golf industry.

  • Experience hands‑on, practical learning through real‑world case studies and group projects.

  • Expand your professional network by collaborating with peers and established leaders.

  • Apply new tools and strategies the moment you get back to your club.

Delivered through four full‑day, in‑person workshops over twelve months, each module stands alone yet connects to create a powerful, comprehensive learning journey.

Module One is about stepping back, taking stock, and sharpening the way you lead — in a practical, grounded way that fits the real world of golf.
