Presidential Perspective by Brandon Schindele, Superintendent Edina Country Club
Spring is on the doorstep!!! Hopefully by the time this issue of Hole Notes reaches your computer, tablet, phone, or any device of your choosing, the majority of us will be venturing out onto the golf course to assess our turf conditions and will be making preparations for opening the courses throughout the state. As spring arrives I am sure most of you have the same fired up attitude of a season that can bring about trying new things, accomplishing new goals, starting and completing new projects or perhaps it is something as simple and understated as just making the course better than it was in the previous year. Taking on that issue can be easier said than done as we all provide conditions that get better each and every year and, at times, I believe we can be our own worst enemy in creating expectations for those that frequent our courses.

So how does the Board of Directors continue to provide “better conditionsâ€? for the membership of the MGCSA each year and continually improve? This is a question that I have asked myself over the last few months and how can we continually provide better value to your membership. Now all of us understand, working at a golf course, that you will never make everyone happy all the time and I think that goes the same for the MGCSA; everyone will not be happy all of the time, but we sure are going to try. With that being said here are some brief items that the Board of Directors has been working on or has accomplished in the last month or two in the hopes of continual improvement. • We have adopted the GCSAA branding philosophy for the MGCSA logo. This creates continuity in instances such as National Golf Day and other events
