Thank you for a Successful 2022!

On behalf of all the East Tennessee GCSA Board Members, THANK YOU to all the host courses and their staff for allowing us to have our monthly meetings this past year!

We had great attendance at each meeting. I want to give a BIG shout out to the men and women who spend countless hours providing perfect playing conditions on a daily basis – every course we played was in fantastic shape. I also want to thank our special guest speakers that graciously gave their time amidst their already busy schedules, sharing their experiences and offering up valuable insight in our ever-changing industry.

I want to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Chuck James and the staff at The Virginian Golf Club for being our host for the annual Research and Scholarship Tournament this past fall. We had beautiful weather, and it was a treat for us all to be able to play this course. Lastly, I want to thank our many vendor partners for their donations to help make this event a success. What an honor it is to be able to give back to the University of Tennessee Turf Program through this tournament.

Lastly, please mark your calendar and save the date for the upcoming Tennessee Turfgrass Conference January 9-11 in Murfreesboro. This is a great opportunity to network and gain valuable industry-specific information to further your success in turf. I’m looking forward to seeing you there!

Michael Crawford
