Today I am excited to be joined by Gavin Robinson (https://www.linkedin.com/in/gavin-robinson-46013b14/). Gavin spent almost 15 years running some of the best golf clubs in Mexico after completing his PGA training; from 5* luxury private members clubs to a start-up pubic course with the ambition of growing the game from the grassroots (https://zibatagolf.com/; https://www.elriogolf.com/; https://www.bosquereal.com.mx/app/). On his return to the UK he got involved in the golf club management scene in the country and completed his Club Management Diploma (CMDip) with the Club Management Association of Europe (CMAE). He has most recently been the Professional Development Manager for the Golf Club Managers Association (GCMA).In this conversation we discuss what Gavin learned while working abroad; the challenges he has faced on returning to the UK to find employment despite an excellent resume; some misconceptions that we feel committees in the UK may have; risk aversion/conservatism within the UK; how it easier to manage a smaller operation than you are used as opposed to vice versa; and much more.Please enjoy this conversation.https://coltmm.com/https://www.cmaeurope.org/https://www.gcma.org.uk/This episode is brought to you by Suada.
