FROM THE ETGCSA PRESIDENT FUND-RAISING GOLF TOURNAMENTS MAKE SUCH A Big Difference As a professional organization, the East Tennessee Golf Course Superintendents Association (ETGCSA) has a mission to provide for its members’ continuing education, opportunities for information exchange and career assistance. Part of the continuing-education process involves assisting turf research efforts in the area that will provide information useful to ETGCSA members. Part of the career assistance process is assisting future golf course superintendents through scholarships and other grants for educational opportunities. ETGCSA has been blessed throughout the years with great support from its members and industry partners. This support has made the ETGCSA Scholarship and Research Tournament very successful every year, which has made it possible to provide scholarships and research grants every year. The 2008 event, held at Tennessee National Golf Club, was no exception. With a full field and a wealth of sponsorships, ETGCSA was able to have a very successful event at a time when our economy would not suggest it possible. As a result of this event, plus the success of previous tournaments, ETGCSA was able to award a total of $3,000 in scholarships to Sean Elverd at The University of Tennessee, along with Brad Floyd and Andrew Odom, both at Walters State. A donation of $500 was also given to the UT Turf Club, for participation in the Turf Bowl at the Golf Industry Show in New Orleans. For research, $7,500 has been set aside for future grants when requested. This year will mark the 19th year since ETGCSA started this fund-raising event, and we are looking forward to another successful tournament at Cattails at Meadowview Golf Course on October 13, 2009. Good luck, and I hope that everyone has a great year.
