Without greenkeepers, there would be no golf. From the pioneering 'Keepers of the Green' that tended the historic links at St Andrews, Prestwick and Musselburgh to today's highly-skilled and dynamic course managers at the UK's top golfing venues, greenkeepers have shaped and defined this wonderful sport. Every step of the way, there has been an association providing them with support, education and advice. In January 1987 the British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association (BIGGA) was created due to an amalgamation of the British Golf Greenkeepers Association, The English and International Golf Greenkeepers Association and The Scottish and International Golf Greenkeepers Association. Since then, we've shone a light for the nation's greenkeepers, and 6,000 turf professionals from the United Kingdom and further afield are proud to call themselves BIGGA members. Now over 30 years old, the British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association is Europe's largest membership greenkeeping association. BIGGA has made outstanding progress to reach its position as a well-respected and integral part of the golf and turf industries. This progress is due to the dedication of very many members who have contributed voluntarily through committee work and support of BIGGA activity, as well as the team of staff based at BIGGA House and in the Regions. The Association was formed to support greenkeepers and greenkeeping and provide a unified voice for the profession.

After spending schoolboy years at Luton Town FC and Cambridge United FC, Paul Warnecki advanced quickly into senior football, making his debut aged just sixteen years old for Buckingham town in the early 1980s. After a couple of seasons Paul gained a highly regarded reputation as one of the best goalkeeper’s playing at semi-professional level playing for many clubs ranging from Kettering town, Rushden and Diamonds and Baldock town. Paul took a break to develop outside business interests in the late 1990s but continued to play for various clubs in the region -even winning the berks and bucks county cup with Newport Pagnell at the grand old age of 44 and continues to play actively to this day, so he has certainly been there done it and worn the goalkeeping gloves! It was Paul's desire to coach the next generation of goalkeepers that lead him to set up his own goalkeeper schools in 2014 through the Just4Keepers franchise. Paul is now FA level 2 qualified and lead goalkeeper coach for Bedfordshire FA. He is a member of the FA licensed coaches club and is CRB/DBS checked (DBS number: 1584451434) with all the relevant safety certificates. (fan number: 611720). Now with over 10 regular venues for group coaching throughout Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire, as well as numerous individual sessions for teams and clubs throughout the region, Paul has launched Goalkeeper Warz. Goalkeeper Warz have a few other coaches, carefully chosen and selected for their expertise and coaching styles to assist at our various venues. More venues will be added over the next few months so please keep checking back on our website and we look forward to seeing you at one of our Goalkeeper Warz sessions or camps soon.
