As I begin the upcoming year as President of the SNGCSA I consider it an honor to serve the association and its members. The new board members seem just as eager as I do to continue the success of the association and bring lots of new ideas. We are listening to everyone and we are working to create golf events for the upcoming year with new types of education. The Turf Tech Seminar will be kicking off the year on January 8th. This year we will have 13 speakers with Brad Snavely from STS Turf being the Key Note speaker. The holidays are here again,

and I like to look back on 2018. We have a lot of active members volunteering their time beyond our local association. Jim Ferrin is on the CAG board and is the President of the California GCSA. Kurtis Wolford is the Vice President of the California GCSA. Both Jim and Kurtis are on the BMP committee. Beyond that both are tied to one of the representatives in congress and lastly both are part of the CGCSA government relations committee. For 2019 we are trying to move the Grass Roots event from March to May since for the last 5 years the event has been rained out. We are still needing some event locations so if your interested please let any of us know. We will also be applying for a grant which we want to use to upgrade the website to keep it from getting hacked. There are some great ideas to add some new sections for our members like to post things for sale. Now that were into the time of year that gives us much needed
relief from the heat of the summer and we should have fresh new budgets for the coming year. In February the GIS will be in San Diego and the California Room will be at the Omni Hotel. It should be a great event and I look forward to seeing you there. As we kick of 2019, I hope everyone has a great year.
