FROM THE PRESIDENT Looking AHEAD Mike Dietrich 2013 OTF President Iam fortunate to have been through more than 30 spring seasons in the turf-management business, and no two have been alike. There is no such thing as a normal season! Joe Rimelspach’s recent mention of the mysterious “white turf syndrome” is an example of how we must stay on top of new issues to find causes and solutions. That is why this Foundation exists. We are here to support research on root causes and solutions to our industry’s challenges. OTF trustees continue to work to improve our ability to provide for such efforts. We are on our way to having a successful year as an organization, likely ending the year in a significantly better position financially than years gone by. Recently, we have decided to organize a focus group comprised of our members and trustees to determine if we are meeting the needs of our members and our industry. We will be analyzing our mission and programs and setting a course of action to ensure that we are adapting to the ever-changing needs of the industry. If you have any comments, please do not hesitate to contact us with your thoughts. As you will notice, this edition serves as our membership directory. Thank you for supporting this wonderful industry as a member of the Ohio Turfgrass Foundation. We ask that you take note of our corporate partners listed in this directory and at our events, as these organizations make a significant investment in our Foundation. We hope that you will consider supporting them just as they support the industry. While membership dues and event fees play a significant role in the Foundation’s annual revenue, booth rentals, event sponsorships and other corporate partnerships are crucial to OTF’s well-being. Again, please take note of these partners, and whether at the OTF Golf Outing, Field Day, OTF Show or even if it’s just answering their call, thank them for creating opportunities for professionals of today and those of the future. I hope to see many of you on September 30th at Moraine Country Club in Dayton for the Scholarship Golf Outing. Thanks to Jason Mahl and the members of Moraine C.C. for hosting this wonderful event. You can find a registration flyer in this magazine, or you can also register online at www. ohioturfgrass.org. Again, thanks for your contributions to our industry!
