Let’s fire up the golf league next Wednesday, May 23rd, at
We’re getting ready to fire up a new season here in a couple weeks. I’m hoping that more of you guys will plan to participate. I received some comments about changing the format once in a while and move away from the typical barrage of Skins. We’re scheduled to play here on Wednesday, May 30th. I wanted to get your thoughts and interest level in playing a 2-man team game with someone from your golf department. Any 2-man combo of Golf Shop and GCM would work. Please let me know if you would be interested in playing in this format…Thanks, Ed

Greetings, Gowan USA would like to invite you to an educational seminar to review research findings by Mark Mahady regarding the use of pelargonic acid (Scythe) as an instant renovation tool prior to over seeding fairways. Essentially, using a safe chemical treatment to make the over seed preparation process more efficient (reduce labor, reduce clipping removal and disposal costs, improve air and turf quality).
Agronomic as well as Economic impacts will be presented.
When: Thursday, June 14th, 10:30am – Lunch
Where: Grayhawk Golf Club
Why: Improve your over seed preparation process
Please see attached flyer for further details and feel free to contact Dave Burkhardt (928) 446-9928 with questions/comments.
