Trentham Golf Club has developed a new volunteer program to assist in course maintenance and improvement. The aim is to maintain and improve Trentham's reputation for course condition and playability, and to make the course even better for members and visitors. There are four work areas covered by the volunteer program: mowing, gardening, sand and bin run, and woodcutters.
A Volunteer Manual has been produced to make sure all volunteers are aware of what is required before joining the program, in particular the occupational health and safety requirements. These include safe machinery operation and incident reporting.
Every member who participates in the program is required to make themselves familiar with the manual, and certify that they have read and understood it. There is a certification form as well as a personal details form (for safety purposes) to be filled in.
