Major players across the golf industry, including Ballybunion Golf Club, are endorsing a Safety and Compliance platform which helps ensure the safety, compliance and training standards at golf clubs are up to date literally at the click of a button. Golf clubs, golf course management organisations, insurance companies, health & safety and legal experts have all sung the praises of Obbi Golf, an award-winning solution which is simple to install and operate and saves golf clubs time and money and ensure compliance in an ever more-strict regulatory world.
One of the latest clubs to sign-up with Obbi Golf is world-famous Ballybunion Golf Club in County Kerry, Ireland, with Matthew Trousdale, head of course data, training and health & safety at the club saying: “Ballybunion is one of the most sought-after golfing experiences in the world, and members and guests who play Ballybunion expect exceptional conditions.
“Prior to Obbi our H&S was a cumbersome process because it was paper based. This resulted in a slower on-boarding of new team members as well as inefficient record keeping in terms of H&S. Obbi has helped us overcome these challenges, and made the whole transition a very smooth process. The training documents provided by Obbi were very beneficial, including an easy to navigate website. Our team enjoyed logging-in and working through the training manuals, which has helped our team become more cohesive and efficient.
“As a team we are always looking for ways to improve,” added Trousdale. “Our concern was that the software and processes within Obbi would not be user friendly. However, our concerns were unfounded. The Obbi Golf system is incredibly user friendly and the support from the Obbi team has been fantastic. I would definitely recommend Obbi Golf to other clubs. Obbi has streamlined our Health and Safety & Training policies.”
Obbi Golf CEO, Gareth Macklin, said: “We’re operators ourselves and were trying to find a platform to integrate lots of the things that are out there. Obbi Golf covers everything around people — from on-boarding of staff, HR, training and communication. It handles processes from quality checks, machine checks, weekly fire checks and audits. Plus, from a safety perspective, it covers risk assessments, accident reporting, insurance documentation. We identified that there are lots of individual solutions out there — from Excel, pen and paper and individual apps — but we wanted to make things far easier and bring it all together.
“We’ve won multiple different awards for innovative product of the year, Irish tech product of the year and we’ve recently been named one of the top 50 most innovative companies in the UK and Ireland, specifically for this golf product.”
