Future Turf Managers Initiative (FTMI) - NZ Selected Candidates

The NZGCSA and ASTMA along with Jacobsen congratulate Bryan Dick (Royal Wellington GC), Mike Holliday (The Hills), Anita Mitchell (Te Arai Links) and Sofia Zavalia (Remuera GC) who have all been selected for the 2025-2026 FTMI.

This world-wide program has been developed by Jacobsen and is run in conjunction with the ASTMA and NZGCSA. It delivers education to future leaders in the turf industry who aspire to be superintendents, ground managers, head curators or hold senior leadership positions. The program has been running in Australia since the 2016 conference in Melbourne, and Bryan, Mike, Anita and Sofia will join with over 200 graduates who have been through the program to date.

The 2025-26 FTMI will be a combined online learning and face-to-face education model taking place over five months. The online modules begin in November before culminating in a final face-to-face program and graduation ceremony in Melbourne next March.

Our thanks to Jacobsen and ASMTA for this educational opportunity for our members to further their skills to help enhance and develop their careers within the turf industry.
