The USGA invites you to a USGA Green Section Educational Workshop. There will be four meetings in Florida the week of April 2nd.

Quail Ridge Country Club, Boynton Beach, Monday, April 2nd, 1:00 p.m. till 5:00 p.m.

Grey Oaks Country Club, Naples, Tuesday, April 3rd, 8:30 a.m. till 12:30 p.m.

Palma Ceia Golf & Country Club, Tampa, Wednesday, April 4th, 8:30 a.m. till 12:30 p.m.

San Jose Country Club, Jacksonville, Thursday, April 5th, 8:30 a.m. till 12:30 p.m.

The focus of the program is to answer the most frequently asked questions we hear from golfers regarding their golf course. “Why aren’t the greens faster?” “Why is that tree being cut down?” “Why overseed?” “Why are neighboring courses in better shape than ours?” Without being overly technical or scientific, our goal is to provide factual information on a level that all members can understand.

The program speakers will be Bob Vavrek, Senior Agronomist, USGA Green Section, Todd Lowe, USGA Agronomist, and myself. With nearly 50 years of combined experience with the USGA, we will share knowledge gained from our travels throughout Florida and across the country.

We hope you will speak to the Green and Golf Committee Members, Board of Directors, General Managers, Golf Professionals and Superintendents of your club and encourage as many people to attend as possible.

Registration deadline is Friday, March 30th, so please fill out the enclosed form for the appropriate site and RSVP (total number in your party) by phone to (772) 546-2620, fax (772) 546-4653, or e-mail sfoy@usga.org.
