Deerhurst Resort has been dealing with the tragic workplace death of one of their veteran golf course employees this past June. While riding on the back of a two-person golf cart for a short distance to the club house, Gerry fell off hitting his head and suffering a concussion that he eventually succumbed to.
The deviation from a simple, safe work practice cost Gerry his life. A letter from Deerhurst not only challenges the habits and safety cultures of golf resorts, but also serves as a sobering reminder to all industries and workplaces that you cannot overlook safe work practices.
