I DON’T PLAY GOLF BUT IT WAS INTERESTIN­G to watch how many players in the recent US Open were all within a couple of shots of the lead. In a lot of cases, it’s a matter of centimetre­s between whether a shot goes in the hole or not.

Our competitio­n is no different – quite often the difference between being at the top or back a few places is simply in the detail of an activity.

And yes, we score assessment­s accordingl­y as it would be unfair to overlook the detail between participan­ts if that is the difference between being number one and number two.

Ultimately, we want to be in the position of having participan­ts hitting 100% across the board – how positively would that reflect on those individual­s, their crews and our industry as a whole.

Give us that problem!

In the meantime, remember, it is quite often the detail that makes the difference – the ball is in your court.

In this issue we continue to shine a light on the achievemen­ts of more of our top performers from the latest round of results.

Celebrate the achievemen­t, but don’t take your eye off the ball at work!

Sponsors – They don’t have to do this but they choose to!

Awesome companies, awesome people and awesome support!

They back you and your workmates to succeed as profession­als, so why wouldn’t you support them.

They believe in what we do and what you do. So a big ongoing thank you to our Strategic Partners – STIHL and NZ Logger and sponsor SWAZI.

The best way to keep our industry working is to get out and support those businesses that support New Zealand.
