As the GCSAA Chapter Delegates Meeting wrapped up this past week, part of the discussion during the event focused on
Best Management Practices (BMP). It is was no secret the goal of GCSAA was to have a BMP manual in place in all 50 states by 2020
— a goal which was accomplished thanks to the hard work and dedication of superintendents nationwide. As each state has a BMP in place, the focus has now shifted to individual golf courses implementing a facility BMP
— and GCSAA is here to help you along the way!
Now that your state BMP manual is available through GCSAA’s BMP Planning Guide and Template, you can easily create a facility BMP manual for your facility. Access is easy with your GCSAA website member log-in using the link immediately below, then selecting the facility BMP icon and go.

Find your state's BMP manual.
To help you with this process, chapters across the region have
— or are
— scheduling BMP workshops. At the time of this writing there are four BMP workshops lined up in the Great Lakes region. These workshops will walk you through the process of implementing a BMP manual for your facility and you will leave with your manual well underway. If you have interest in attending or scheduling a BMP workshop, please don't hesitate to reach out.
I look forward to seeing you at an event in the region soon as education events and annual meetings
— along with BMP workshops
— are taking place this fall and winter.
