GCSAA Discusses Challenges Superintendents Are Facing

Recently, I came across a publication based out of Laguna Beach. Now I know that Southern California has some of the most breathtaking and beautifully manicured courses in America. Although, golfers commonly pay big bucks to these courses, and generally it is worth it because of California's picture perfect coastline and unbeatable weather. In any case, this publication entitled, Boardroom, is one that I have never heard of before, yet it was worth the wait.

Boardroom has some terrific articles aimed to educate golf course owners, directors and superintendents. With 12 years of distribution behind the magazine, I took a further look and found a fantastic article entitled “Challenges Are Many For Course Superintendents.”

In it, Boardroom sat down with the president of The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), Timothy O’Neil, to discuss the many challenges facing golf courses today.
Here are some of the questions that were asked:

What are some challenges superintendents are facing as they work to maintain courses?

How much autonomy should a superintendent have?

What is GCSAA and how does it benefit private country clubs?

What role would GCSAA see for an elected greens chairman?

What is the Golf Industry Show?

What is the future role of the superintendent?
