P R E S I D E N T ’ S M E S S AG E You would think after 3 years of being President of the Association it would get easier writing the Presidents Message. Each time I sit down to write this article I try to write about something different, it’s been unfortunate that Covid and now the fires is the first thing that comes to mind. Some of our members have been evacuated due to the fires and some of us may have experienced Covid. Luckily, we Scott McCullough are getting closer to fall and then winter and hopefully that will help the fight against many of the fires. In the last two months we have hosted two excellent events. In July the Scholarship and Research Tournament and then in August the Tri-Chapter event. We had an excellent turnout for both of those events. I was looking forward to the Presidents Cup at Bailey Creek but due to the Dixie fire we had to move the Presidents Cup Tournament. We reached out to a few golf courses but due to the last-minute notice it made it difficult to find a location in the Sierras. Pat Finlen and Jason Conrad at Winchester Country Club were gracious enough to be able to host the event with such a short notice. I consider the Sierra Nevada GCSA and the GCSAA like an extended family. I always try to reach out

to those members that are affected by a disaster such as the California wildfires. As a reminder the GCSAA has the Disaster Relief Fund and the Sierra Nevada GCSA has funds available to help. I hope everyone has a safe and great Fall and I look forward to seeing you at the next event.
