NTGCSA Members, You have been asked to participate in a very important research project currently being conducted at the University of Connecticut’s Innovation Accelerator. The research is investigating the wide spectrum of turfgrass and turf supplements that are currently used by course superintendents today, and their green alternatives. Below is a link to an anonymous survey which should take no more than 5 minutes to complete.

    Please note that this group is not trying to sell anything, and will share the analysis of this survey with our association. The results will be included in a future NTGCSA newsletter. The NTGCSA Board of Directors endorses this survey and encourages all members to participate.

    De Cordova Country Club and Superintendent Kerry Smith host a great day of golf and education. Ross Paterson, The Growth Coach, delivered a motivational account of how success all starts in the mind. The inspirational speech focused on leadership, business organization, and management. The examples discussed at De Cordova were well received by all in attendance and hopefully we will apply the techniques in our daily management of our properties. A special thanks to Kerry Smith, his staff, and everyone at De Cordova for giving us a memorable experience. The condition of the golf course was immaculate and the greens rolled great. De Cordova is truly a hidden gem that was enjoyed by all.
