Association
seeks survey participants. GCSAA will
be conducting five
surveys between October 2006 and March 2007
to gather data that will be used to advance the
golf course management profession. All Class A
and Superintendent Members are being asked to
participate. The total time to take all five surveys
should not exceed two hours, and all surveys can
be completed online from the location of your
choice. GCSAA will award 0.25 service points for
each completed survey. Qualified members will
receive a letter from President Sean A. Hoolehan,
CGCS, at the end of this month with more information
about the surveys, their timing and their purpose.
GCSAA sends ambassadors
to Ryder Cup. More than a decade ago, GCSAA’s
leadership made the decision to transition from

organization involved in turfgrass. As a result,
according to CEO Steve Mona, “as golf goes,
so goes GCSAA.” This month, golf goes to the
Ryder Cup in Straffan, County Kildare, Ireland,
and GCSAA will be there also. Read
