Officer of BIGGA (British and International Golf Greenkeepers
Association).
Commenting on his appointment, Mr Croxton said: "The work of
BIGGA members is fundamental to the future health of the game of
golf and I am convinced that the Board's ambitions to raise the
profile of this vital work are worthy and achievable."
BIGGA Chairman, Andrew Mellon, added: "Jim Croxton is a
confident, energetic and determined golf industry professional,
with a track record of driving and implementing commercial and
operational strategies, delivering successful and financially
secure events and leading and motivating teams of staff." He has

BIGGA acknowledges there are countless young greenkeepers who
owe their careers to the assistance they have received from the

greenkeepers who have been able to top up their skills thanks to
the help Golden Key sponsors have given to the industry.
