As President of @GCSAA, I’m proud to carry the legacy of my dad Todd, my grandpa Vaughn, and my great-grandpa Abe. Grandpa always said, “Giving your time to something bigger is more valuable than money.” Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads in our GCSAA family.

Golf courses aren’t just playing fields — they’re wildlife sanctuaries. Thanks to superintendents for their efforts to offer habitat protections. #ThankASuper

Seventeen amazing years of marriage to my beautiful best friend. From the moment we said "I do" under that blistering hot sun, I've only fallen more in love with you. Thank you for your love. Happy 17th anniversary, Natalie!

Boston (12) achieved his first degree Black Belt today. This kid fought hard through a 4 hour physical, emotional, and skilled test. Close to tears, but he persevered. I am extremely proud to watch him accomplish his dream. Congratulations, son, you earned it. Love you

Love the @TheFirstGreen program? R4R funds can help host events, like, pay for 🚌, buy the kids 🍕, or hat's. You never know, the next generation of G.C. Superintendent could be in that group. When the field trip is over, you'll have new fans of the brand!

Western States, like mine @UtahGCSA also @cactusandpine @sincitygcsa @CaliforniaGCSA along with others, are facing water and pesticide threats. R4R funds can also be used for Government advocacy. It's easy money and only takes 2m to fill out the form!
