MSU Student Welcome & Networking
Golf Day
BY ALLEN SAVILLE, MSU TURF CLUB PRESIDENT
E
arly fall is a busy time on campus for the students in the turf management program at Michigan State University. You begin to feel the pressure of college and what comes with it, but each fall the students get to look forward to an incredible networking opportunity within the MiGCSA. The annual student golf outing held at College Fields is a unique experience for both students and members of the MiGCSA. The outing allows the students within the program to begin to create connections within the industry and for MiGCSA members to share their knowledge and experiences. As the president of the turf club here at MSU, I could not have asked for a better outcome to the event. From the

incredible communication with Adam Ikamas and our gracious host Carey Mitchelson, the event was a huge success. The attendees enjoyed a 9-hole scramble at College Fields, followed up by dinner and an informal Q&A session. This format allowed for free-flowing conversations and questions from both students and members of the industry. I contribute this year’s success due to a larger turnout from students and MiGCSA members. The events future looks bright due to the dedication of both sides to bettering our profession. As we move towards next year, I only hope our number of attendees continues to increase and diversify especially on the side of non-student attendees. I ask MiGCSA members to continue to show your support

of the program and its students by volunteering your time next fall and allowing this great event to get better every year. On behalf of the students here at MSU, I can proudly say we love the chance to meet our phenomenal professionals within this great industry. My only hope as I enter my final year here at Michigan State is to see this event get even better in the upcoming years. I want to take this opportunity to thank the MiGCSA and all of its members who attended this year. As well as Carey Mitchelson and his staff at College Fields for all their hard work leading up to a very successful event. Thank you for everything all of you do and your constant support of us and our future endeavors.
