Water is as indispensable to the Southern California golf community as it is scarce and expensive – a juxtaposition of factors that poses challenges the game must meet if it expects to remain a vital part of Southern California’s recreational landscape. We invite you to the Southern California Golf & Water Summit August 18 at Los Serranos Golf Club to learn how the Southern California golf community has been meeting these challenges, and more importantly, plans to continue meeting these challenges no matter what may come its way.

In addition, you will learn practical ways to continue delivering great golfer experiences while using less water.

In an effort to attract golf course maintenance personnel by offsetting a portion of California’s high housing expense, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of Northern California (GCSANC) has launched their Intern Housing Assistance Program.

Interns employed in the turf maintenance department at member golf courses in Northern California are eligible, and in the first year more than $14,000 was awarded to seven deserving individuals.

The CGCOA Golf is Good Ambassador Program is now the CGCOA Golf is Great Ambassador Program!

Same program, just a new name!

The Golf is Great Ambassador Program organizes golf industry representatives, matching them with the legislators representing the district in which the ambassador’s golf course is located, and guiding ambassadors in the process of advancing the messages and priorities of California’s golf industry.

CGCOA is seeking a diverse mix of golf course owners, general managers, superintendents, golf pros, even amateur golfers and others passionate about protecting the game of golf and promoting public policies that enable golf to flourish in California.

Ambassador Training and Education

Golf is Great Ambassadors will receive the tools and training necessary to become effective advocates for golf. Resources include a recorded video presentation that can be viewed at the ambassador’s leisure covering the basics of advocacy, periodic live online trainings addressing current issues and messages, handouts detailing the Golf is Great messages and positions on key public policy issues.

Golf is Great Ambassadors who are GCSAA members will receive GCSAA service points:

GCSAA members serving in an ambassador capacity with the CGCOA will receive .25 points per year for the position and then can accumulate additional points (.25 per activity) for activities such as participating in a state golf day or being involved in an outreach effort.

Golf is Great Ambassadors who are PGA of America members will receive PGA service credits.

Recognition

Ambassadors have the opportunity to win the CGCOA Golf is Great Ambassador Award, which honors individual ambassadors who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and engagement in advocacy through outreach and relationship development with a member of the California legislature.
