The Korean Public Golf Course Association (Chairman Woo Jeong-seok) held the "May Professional Management Meeting of Public Golf Courses" on the 19th at Powell CC Princess in Gongju, Chungcheongnam-do, with over 40 public golf course professional managers in attendance.

During the meeting, discussions focused on prevention measures for various safety accidents, including golf ball strike incidents, cart fall accidents, and slipping accidents. Participants also emphasized the need for special attention and effort to strengthen information security management, including preventing personal data breaches and responding to ransomware. Attendees agreed on the necessity of re-examining on-site safety management systems and taking proactive preventive actions.

Additionally, Kim Dae-jung, publisher of Poyu News, explained the "Worker Estimation System," stating, "Unlike other special-type employment workers, caddies are independent individual business owners who provide direct game assistance services to golfers and receive caddie fees directly from them. Golf courses do not earn any income from caddie fees." He further noted, "If the Worker Estimation System is introduced, golf courses will face significant additional operating costs. As a result, there is a possibility that no-caddy rounds will expand, reducing actual round opportunities for caddies. On-site caddies are also concerned about the introduction of this system."

Next, Won Dong-hyeon (Team Lead) of Seowon Yang-haeng presented on "Course Management Strategies Using Autonomous AI Robots," stating, "Rising labor costs, shortages of key personnel for course management, and extreme weather conditions are making course management increasingly difficult. By utilizing autonomous AI robots for automated mowing during nighttime and early morning hours, we can expect to alleviate labor shortages and improve operational efficiency." Participants showed great interest in the AI robot demonstration.

Association advisory committee member Kwon Seong-ho (CEO) of BnBK Co., Ltd. highlighted representative types of springtime poor turf growth, including ▲delayed green-up, ▲large patch and spring dead spot, ▲spring frost damage, and ▲compaction and cumulative drought stress. Based on actual on-site cases, they introduced "Recovery Scenarios and May Management Checklists," drawing significant attention from attendees.

Kim Tae-young, Executive Vice President of the Korean Public Golf Course Association, emphasized, "Thorough inspections and management of various facilities and equipment at golf courses are crucial for preventing safety and security accidents." He added that the association will actively support member companies by providing expert advice from professional institutional investors in each field and sharing continuous information to offer practical assistance.
