CGSAReport
- Kerry Watkins
CGSA Manitoba Director
With 43rd CGSA Fall Field Day an event of the past, I can report that the event was a great success on all levels. First off, half the field was from Manitoba and the event was sold out! A big thanks goes out to the MGSA and the board for great support for the MGSA social evening and for the food stations during the Fall Field Day event. Congrats to Manitoba's own Tony Feheregyhazi for winning the overall low net and to Thom Charters for winning the overall national champion.
Prior to the FFD the CGSA had two full days of board meetings and some information that was made public. First off the 2009 award earners are as follows
Superintendent of the Year Mr. David Boyd, Future Superintendent of the Year Mr. Cameron Kusiek and to the John B. Steel earner Mr. Vince Gillis. Congratulations goes out to all award earners.
Some of the initiatives the CGSA along with committees will have available for you the superintendent to use are: Re-entry Support Paper when products are applied on your golf course, national recognized IPM program, Golf and Environment papers and presentations. All may be available for CGSA Superintendent members in the near future.
Events to mark on your calendars are the 2010 CGSA conference to be held in Toronto from February 6th to March 2nd and the 44th CGSA Fall Field Day to be held September 14th at Banff Springs. Please mark these dates and take advantage of becoming a CGSA member and the new member rates for these events.
