The Frank Newberry European tour continues and after great success in Belgium with FEGGA and a trip to the Canary Islands with the Norwegian Greenkeepers association Frank returned to Denmark.
Invited back for the 3rd year in a row by the Danish Greenkeepers association the topic for the seminar this year was negotiating skills and proved to be a great success with the delegates who arrived on the day to the sight of a snowy landscape, something of a rarity during another mild and wet winter in Denmark.
The seminar was organised by Søren Nicholson, held at Ledreborg Palace Golf where Alex McCombie is course manager and sponsored by Svenningsens who are main dealers in Denmark for Ransomes Jacobsen and other leading brands.
At the end of the day the 25 delegates left with some new skills and ideas to help them in their future negotiations. In summing up Søren thanked Frank for his commitment to Danish greenkeepers and his endless energy and enthusiasm. He also thanked hosts Ledreborg Palace Golf and Ole Knuth from Svenningsens for their generous sponsorship.
Final thanks went to the delegates for attending and wanting to develop some essential skills to help become better managers.
