Golf
Course Pesticide Use Survey deadline May 5
Based on member feedback, GCSAA is extending
the deadline to May 5 for the Golf Course Pesticide
Use Survey, the fourth survey in GCSAA’s Golf
Course Environmental Profile Project. The extension
will allow superintendents more time to complete
the entire survey, including the section requiring
input of pesticide-use data. Time needed to input
data will depend on the number of pesticide applications
made in 2007, but you can save your work and return
as often as necessary to complete it. A paper version
is also available. Take part in this endeavor to
gather vital information on the environmental performance
of golf courses. For more information, contact Mark
Johnson, senior manager of environmental programs
at 800-472-7878. |

GCSAA research grants
Eleven new research projects will begin
in 2008 with total funding of more than $180,000
over the next three years. The projects were approved
by the Research Task Group. Of the 11 new projects,
eight are Chapter Cooperative Research Program
projects. All the funded projects focus on applied
research, which is problem-solving research that
yields results and can be put into practice by
superintendents. The Environmental Institute for
Golf provides funding for GCSAA’s share
of the projects. A complete list of the research
projects funded in 2008 can be found at here.
