Building Links with Syngenta
We all want to build inspiring places to live, work and play. But beyond the playing surfaces themselves, is the wellbeing and prosperity of the people who form the backbone of our industry.
Building Links is a program from Syngenta that’s dedicated to helping industry leaders like you build a more inclusive, equal and diverse culture at your golf club.
How does it impact your club?
A foundation of diversity and inclusion leads to a more inspired turf team. One that’s more creative, higher performing, deeply invested in the success of the club, and resilient.
A diverse, inclusive culture can also aid you in other areas, like expanding your potential hiring pool, retaining more revenue-positive employees, managing conflict, offsetting labour shortages, and more!
Learn more in our video series featuring Brandon Bell,

Women in Turfgrass Management
Syngenta is honoured to sponsor the Women in Turfgrass Management (WITM) mentorship program.
Visibility of women in sports is vital, whether as players, mentors, or course maintenance professionals, to inspire and encourage future generations of women to pursue their passions. By promoting and supporting women in golf, we can catalyze inclusivity and diversity, which will help the sport and its supporting industries evolve in exciting new ways.
Designed to facilitate mentorship and learning opportunities for an underrepresented demographic in golf, the WITM program is crucial to elevating the skills and visibility of vital contributors to the sport.
