Obbi Golf Publishes Crisis Management eBook

Obbi Golf has announced the publication of a new eBook entitled ‘Club Crisis Management: A Response Guide to Major Incidents’ aimed at golf club managers and operators wishing to avoid potential pitfalls. Published in collaboration with Fieldfisher, the eBook outlines essential procedures and policies to mitigate risks and manage crises effectively.

“In the serene world of golf, where the rolling greens and gentle swaying trees create an illusion of tranquillity, crisis can still strike unexpectedly. The 2023 Masters’ serves as a stark reminder of this reality,” said Gareth Macklin, managing director of Obbi Golf. “Strong winds uprooted trees, sending spectators into a frenzy and narrowly avoiding disaster. Some may perceive golf clubs as low-risk environments, but they harbour hidden dangers. From falling trees to heavy equipment operation, hazards lurk in the serene landscape. Recognising these risks, clubs must proactively prepare for crisis situations.”

The eBook includes suggestions as to how to manage Health and Safety policy; Incident response protocol; Risk assessments; Crisis Management strategies and how to co-ordinate an Immediate Action in a Crisis.

“In today’s digital age, technology plays a pivotal role in crisis management. Digital solutions, such as Obbi — a safety, compliance and training platform — offer comprehensive incident reporting features, ensuring proactive safety measures and compliance adherence. Using technology, clubs can tackle crises head-on, fostering a culture of safety and responsiveness,” added Macklin.
