Investigating pest management on U.S. golf courses
In 2021, superintendents at 71% of U.S. golf facilities reported having either an integrated pest management plan or a pesticide application plan — up from 66% in 2015 but equivalent to 2007.
GCSAA needs to hear from you!
Complete the survey by August 31st to voice your opinion on the government issues impacting your facility. The committee is now developing the 2022-2023 Priority Issues Agenda, which outlines the legislative and regulatory priorities for GCSAA.

GCSAA’s Golf Course Environmental Profile surveys are very important to the profession and industry. Idaho GCSA encourages all superintendents to participate in the third major Golf Course Nutrient and Pest Management survey. Your participation will continue to enable advocacy efforts, as well as provide resources to help superintendents succeed. It is crucial that everyone participate with this survey to adequately represent all locations, facilities, etc. because we need the data (facts).
We asks that you complete the survey as soon as possible before the deadline of May 15, 2022.

Everyone who completes the survey in its entirety will automatically be entered into prize drawings. GCSAA is offering more than $10,000 in prizes during the third series of GCEP surveys. There will be three prize winners in each of the seven U.S. agronomic regions per survey. Three randomly selected participants in first, second and third order will receive $300, $200, and $100 respectively. In addition, GCSAA members will be awarded 0.50 service points for their participation. Individual survey responses will not be disclosed or used by GCSAA and results will only be published in aggregate.

You all know it is in the best interest for your facility and your industry to have your facility BMPs in place.
Guess what! It can be accomplished in 15 minutes if you decide to simply adopt the state BMPs.
In fact, you could even adopt the state BMPs for now and then further edit the BMPs for your facility later.
Complete your facility BMPs by September 15 and you will be placed into a random drawing!
There will be (2) $75 cash prize drawings for Idaho and (2) $75 cash cash prize drawings from a misc. category (additional states our members represent (ie., Wyo., Utah, Nevada)
The random drawing will take place at the Northwest GCSA Turfgrass Expo. Someone from your facility must be present to collect the cash prize.
If no one is in attendance from your facility, a $75 donation will be made to the GCSAA Foundation in your name.
The real win for you is the completion of the document. We encourage all members to do so, with or without a drawing!
Questions when completing your BMPs? Stuck or confused?
