Turf Grass Managers Association Gauteng

The Turf Grass Managers Association (TGMA) previously known as the Golf Course Managers and Green Keepers Association of Southern Africa (GCMGA) came into existence over 30 years ago because Turf Grass Managers saw a need to network and share their knowledge and experience on the maintenance and upkeep of all turf related courses, for both golf and recreational purposes.
TGMA is a Gauteng based association with Johannesburg and Pretoria currently contributing mostly to its membership. The Association provides information to its members, representing their interests and facilitates training at all levels. The TGMA provides a forum for discussion and networking among course and Sports Field Superintendents and Turf Grass Managers at a National Level.

The main aim of the organization is to encourage, facilitate and promote education within the industry and to support a National Body to promote and reinforce recognition of the profession in it's own right. By sharing the latest cutting edge developments and knowledge with fellow members, we endeavour to increase the level of skills and competence to the highest possible International standards.

Members may enroll in our Training Courses to expand their knowledge and skills.   
The courses are formulated to accommodate both the novice as well as experienced Turf Grass Managers.
By completing the Training Courses, members will gain recognized status not only in their personal job environment, but also amongst Turf Grass Managers.
Being part of the Association, members will be able to interact, share and also gain invaluable knowledge from other highly experienced professionals on a casual, friendly basis. Members can seek help online with problems they have never encountered before.   
Chances are more than likely that some member/s have experienced and overcome these problems in the past to the latest developments.
TGMA is dedicated to serving its members, and advancing the profession of Turf Grass Management on a National scale for golf courses, sports fields, public parks and any other applicable recreational areas.
TGMA members strive to be recognised by the Turf industry as one of the key contributors in elevating Course and Sports field Turf Maintenance.
