It's no secret the golf industry has come under a lot of scrutiny from legislators and the public in recent years. Perceptions of wasting water, applying dangerous chemicals and disturbing wildlife habitats in a negative way could not be further from the truth. While those of us who work within turfgrass management know superintendents are environmental stewards, many of those outside the industry have a skewed vision of what golf courses bring to the community and environment.
Getting the message out to legislators is an important step in making sure our industry is well-represented at the local and national level. GCSAA is asking for your help in this process. The GCSAA currently has a grassroots network comprised of GCSAA members serving as Grassroots Ambassadors that want to help in the association's government relations efforts. The goal is to have one member of GCSAA match up with each member of congress. The program is set up to have the volunteers act as the go-to persons for lawmakers on golf course-related issues.
Eligibility to become a Grassroots Ambassador is open to all Class A, SM and C members. Being involved in this program is highly rewarding and only takes a few hours of your time each month. It is a great way to get involved in the association and make sure your industry is well looked-after. For more information, please check out the following two links:
