Congratulations Mark Grund and Troy Mullane, our 2008 Affiliate and Superintendent Member of the Year award winners. Your volunteerism through the years has definitely added to the strength of the SDGCSA.

For those that attended this years Invitational I must say it was a great day of friendship, golf and appreciation for the group of professionals with which we are fortunate to associate. Tim Barrier hit the nail on the head when he labeled the Superintendent the most important person on the property and that it is our responsibility to grow and preserve the game of golf. You and your staff did a wonderful job setting up the course. Thank you, Tim, for hosting such a memorable Invitational.

By the time you read this message I will have attended the early summer Cuyumaca College O.H. Department Advisory Committee meeting. Hopefully alumni of the program were able to reply to last weeks request for information that I put out there as an attempt to gather ammunition to support the importance of maintaining the Golf and Sports Turf Management class. I will keep you posted on the outcome of this meeting in my next article.

Keep your inboxes cleaned out so you’ll be able to find upcoming social gatherings that you won’t want to miss. Just for Fun and Crew Appreciation Day are right around the corner!

Respectfully submitted,
