President's Message
Craig Weyandt

Early into the New Year all the
superintendents across the state will be
receiving the Florida Golf Course
Superintendents Association Golf
Maintenance and Benefits Survey. This
biannual survey allows us to monitor trends
in spending on a chapter and state level. I
use this very valuable tool often when
referring to my budget. This survey is only
sent out every two years and will take only
a few minutes to complete. This year the
survey will be shortened to make it even
easier and less time consuming to complete.
Please don't leave this sit on the corner of
your desk, fill it out and send it in.

My hat goes off to the FTGA for another
wonderful Conference & Show held in
September in Bonita Springs. The corn boil,
meeting facilities and education were all top
notch. I hear the FTGA has secured the
same facilities for next year around the same
time so mark your calendars for this great
event. The FTGA wants to meet the needs
of the turf industry and will study the
feasibility of moving the Conference around
the state and maybe even set up a regional
rotation. If you are asked, please respond.

good decisions for all concerned.

Last year marked the second year of the Golf
Industry Show (GIS) and what a success.
After scrambling to find a site after Katrina,
Atlanta stepped up to the plate and in a big
way. I'm looking forward to attending this
year's conference & show in Anaheim,
California. I hear that Anaheim has a whole
new look and will surprise all with the new
improvements. The show is still evolving
and this year is another first. Following the
GCSAA and Golf Owners Conference
seminars at the start of the week, the Club
Managers Association of America will join
the GIS over the weekend at the trade show
and their education will be the following
week. GCSAA will be monitoring attendance
closely to make sure there is no negative
impact on superintendent attendance with
the addition of General Managers.
As Steve Mona, CEO of GCSAA mentioned
recently, "GCSAA is the 800 pound gorilla
in this scenario. We bring over 200,000
square feet of show to the mix; GCOA brings
around 40,000 sq. ft. and CMAA brings
around 10,000 sq. ft." It is a benefit for the
whole industry to have one show, but we
have a contract that allows any party to step
out if it isn't working for their benefit, in our
case, if our members are prevented from
attending.
I prefer to look on all the potential positives
that can come from this event and from the
data we can generate from the upcoming
surveys. You hold the power to help shape
the future of golf in your hands. Don't
squander these opportunities for education
and information.

GCSAA Updates

GCSAA Golf Course Environmental Profile project continues with second phase
due November 20

GCSAA's Golf Course Environmental Profile project moved to its second phase with the water use and conservation survey distributed
Oct. 9. Responses are due Nov. 20. Both GCSAA member and non-member superintendents received electronic and/or hard copy surveys
in a process that mirror the first phase conducted earlier this year. This second phase will measure water use and conservation on the golf
course. Superintendents are invited to submit the water use and conservation survey whether or not they submitted the first survey.
Respondents will receive .25 service points for taking the survey.
"The response to our first survey was excellent," GCSAA Director of Research Clark Throssell, Ph. D., said. "We are still analyzing the
data, but the preliminary reports will provide us with a solid base to start building the typical golf course profile."
Throssell noted that the project is of the utmost importance. He said GCSAA and the golf industry needs specific environmental baseline
information about the environmental state of golf courses. An understanding of the current state of environmental practices will allow the
association to document progress made by golf courses and help determine the direction of its environmental efforts in the future. The
data will also help the golf industry respond to governmental inquiries and to answer the public's questions about environmental issues.
Throssell noted existing "environmental" data is very limited, not complete, uniform, or centralized. Many times information provided in
the news media is inaccurate or misleading.
To access the survey, please visit www.gcsaa.org. More details about this project are also available via the GCSAA Web site home page
through a series of frequently asked questions. The entire project features a series of surveys conducted over several years to collect
a variety of data. The first phase focused on the physical characteristics of golf courses while this particular survey will address water use
on your course. The project is being funded by The Environmental Institute for Golf through a grant provided by The Toro Foundation.
Should you have questions, please contact Mark Johnson, GCSAA Environmental Programs Specialist at mjohnson@gcsaa.org.

and his staff had the course in great shape
for the event. And the weather was good

Nancy McBride, NCMEC Director of Prevention Education, was pleased to learn that this
year's Tournament raised $22,000 for the
Center. That brings the total funds raised
by this tournament over the past 22 years to
a whopping $250,000 to help the Children of
South Florida.
Chairman Bob Klitz along with Billy Entwistle
and all the SFGCS A members of the Tournament Committee would like to thank all of
the loyal participating sponsors who made
this day possible. Many of the sponsors
have participated in this event for years and
are the reason that this Tournament is such
a financial success. In particular, a special
thanks is due once again to Brian
MacCurrach of Bayer Environmental Science
for sponsoring the Bayer Power Pak Auction which this year yielded $4,500 thanks to
that generous bid by Frank McKee, superintendent at Parkland GC. When combined
with the $4,700 bid for this same Bayer Power
Pac offered at the Palm Beach GCS A Future

contributed a substantial donation of $9,200
from just these two events. Thanks, Brian.

GCSAA Chapter Delegates Meeting Report

Chapter Delegates Look to the Future

Noting that the association and its members
have made significant gains on several
fronts, the GCSAA Chapter Delegates
meeting, October 13-14-15, took a strategic
approach in discussing how GCSAA could
sustain that momentum in achieving its
mission, vision and goals.

late last year. Delegates supported the
efforts, realizing such an initiative will take
time to yield results and must be long-term
in nature. They were especially supportive
of the GCSAA field staff pilot program and
encouraged strong consideration for
expanding it in the near future.

"I commend and appreciate the Delegates
for the energy they displayed during the
meeting," said Ricky Heine, CGCS meeting
chairman and GCSAA vice-president. "They
were focused and well-prepared in giving
the board of directors and staff their
perspectives on how we achieve our longterm vision. They took ownership of their
association and in their responsibility as
delegates. It is obvious they engaged their
members in talks before the meeting."

The liveliest debate was on GCSAA's
philosophy regarding the positioning of the
association and its membership classes.
Delegates shared a variety of opinions, but
ultimately agreed that for membership
standards to have value in the marketplace,
then they must be promoted externally. There
was unanimous support that greater
resources be dedicated to marketing the
value of being a member of the association
as a whole with various strategies devised
for each of the member categories like CGCS,
Class A, Class SM and Class C. These
individual marketing strategies will define
and describe the requirements of each
membership class so that each golf facility
can support their superintendent according
to their needs and resources.

The exchange of ideas and comments
focused primarily on three items: a.) the
development of long-term revenue streams
to fund programs and services; b.) growing
the GCSAA membership; c.) and
positioning GCSAA and its membership
classes in the marketplace (primarily to
employers and influential golfers).
Noting that chapters will be integral to the
success of revenue generation, membership
The financial conversations centered on the
establishment of a long-term dues pricing
strategy. At the request of the Delegates,
the board and staff presented a proposal
that would tie the establishment of
membership dues to an index (such as the
Consumer Price Index). Historically, the
association has enacted a dues increase in
larger increments on average every five to
seven years. The result has been a loss of
members. There was widespread agreement
at the meeting that smaller dues increases
would be more easily absorbed at the facility
level and less likely to result in membership
declines.

growth and retention, and marketing efforts,
discussion also included an examination of
chapter effectiveness. Specifically, the
delegates were charged with providing the
board and staff direction as to how the
association could best invest resources to
enhance chapter operations. The top three
items were: a.) membership recruitment and
retention; b.) chapter executive development
and support; c.) chapter meeting
effectiveness (attendance, timing,
satisfaction, value, etc.). It was the
consensus that many of the issues were
interrelated and thus could be addressed if
programs and services are developed and
coordinated appropriately. Once again,
support for expanding the field staff pilot
program was communicated, and suggested
as a means to implement effectiveness
programs.
Delegates also expressed interest in
providing support to GCSAA's advocacy
efforts. They were briefed on the process
the association follows for commenting to
the EPA on product re-registration. The
process includes an element for member
input to GCSAA actions, plus the
opportunity for chapters and members to
become directly engaged as well.

Tied to the discussion of revenues was an
examination of GCSAA membership
numbers. From a high of more than 22,000 in
2001, the association's membership has
declined approximately 10 percent to just
over 20,000 today. There was agreement that
the situation has been created in large part
by a struggling golf economy and the
