December Events

Here in the Great Lakes Region, cold weather and snow have come in reminding us that Mother Nature is still in charge. Many superintendents and their staffs are finishing up blowing out irrigation systems and trying to get their snow mold protection out. Once those jobs are completed the work turns to winter projects and preparing the equipment for the upcoming season. Education season is also starting and with it the chance for superintendents to do some networking with colleagues and get updated on the latest trends in the industry. I will be hosting a booth at the Ohio Turfgrass Foundation Conference and Show in Columbus, Ohio, from December 3-5 and attending the Wisconsin Golf Turf Symposium December 10-11. This is a great opportunity for superintendents to get pesticide applicator points, as well as GCSAA education credits. These credits will help you in your endeavors to maintain or obtain you GCSAA class A status as well as count toward obtaining or renewing your certification.

I look forward to talking with superintendents and industry partners at these events and seeing how GCSAA can better serve it members. This holiday season please remember those who have been affected by recent tornadoes and storms here in the Great Lakes Region. Natural disasters like these bring out the best in golf course superintendents as they band together to help their fellow superintendents and those in their communities.
