SUMMARY:OGCSA/WWGCSA Service Project @ American Lake Veterans Golf Course
DESCRIPTION:This past fall\, the Board of Directors from the OGCSA and WWGCSA got together for a joint meeting. The purpose was to plan an event that would allow members from both associations to utilize their skills for a worthy cause\, as well as network with their peers.  We are happy to announce that on Thursday\, March 14\, Superintendents and industry partners from Oregon and Washington will be joining forces to complete a service project at American Lake Veterans Golf Course. \nThe golf course is located on the grounds of the VA Hospital in Lakewood\, Washington.  In 1995\, the US government withdrew all funding for the operation and maintenance of all VA golf courses.  Due to an agreement made with the VA Puget Sound Health Care\, this course is now completely run by volunteers who are primarily veterans themselves.  It’s an amazing story and we encourage you to read more about it on their website at www.veterangolf.org.  A group of our board members were able to meet with the Assistant Superintendent (volunteer) in January and get a plan together of work that needs to be done.  It’s a long list\, and the amount we are able to get done is dependent on how many volunteers we have.  The volunteers that care for American Lake take a lot of pride in their course.  They are blown away that a bunch of golf course superintendents want to come and help them\, and are excited to learn all they can……..that’s a good enough reason for us! \nThis event is made possible due to generous contributions and the selflessness of our association members.  To signup to volunteer  Click here . For those that are not able to volunteer their time\, we are also accepting donations to support this cause. Contact Alexis Wenker at 503-344-6535 or ogcsa@ogcsa.org for more information on donations. Breakfast and Lunch will be provided\, and any unused funds will be donated back to the course to use as they need.  Both associations are extremely excited about this inaugural event and hope to make it an annual occurrence which will bounce back and forth between locations in Oregon and Washington each year.  We look forward to seeing you there. \nRegards\, \nJoint Service Project Committee \n\nSchedule of Events\n7:00am – Breakfast\, Welcome & Job Assignment \n7:30am-12:00pm – Service Project \n12:30pm – Lunch \nSign up to Volunteer Here\nCan you donate equipment\, product or funds to support this event? Contact Alexis at 503-344-6535 or email: ogcsa@ogcsa.org\n  \n

SUMMARY:2019 Fall Meeting
DESCRIPTION:The OGCSA hopes you will plan to attend the 2019 Fall Meeting as host Superintendent\, Steven Beyer and Illahe Hills Country Club welcome us to their beautiful club. We are excited to announce that Micah Woods\, Ph.D. will be joining us as our featured speaker. \nMicah Woods\, Ph.D.\, is the founder and chief scientist of the Asian Turfgrass Center. Since graduating from Oregon State University in 1998\, Micah has been traveling extensively\, collecting data\, and advising turfgrass managers across Asia\, Australia\, North America\, and Europe. From 2001 to 2005\, he was in New York to study with Frank Rossi at Cornell University. The broad scope of his research on grasses around the world led to his collaboration with scientists from PACE Turf to create the MLSN guidelines which are applicable to turf in all climate zones\, or as he says\, “any grass\, anywhere.” You can read more about Micah’s unique take on tending turfgrass in his book\, A Short Grammar of Greenkeeping\, as well as on his website\, www.asianturfgrass.com. \n  \nAt this meeting we will also be presenting USGA Agronomist\, Larry Gilhuly with the Dick Malpass Distinguished Service Award. Gilhuly received this award this past spring at the Annual meeting\, but was unable to attend and accept it personally. On November 6th Larry be in the flesh to accept his award. After 36 years with the USGA Greens Section\, Larry is set to retire this September. Larry has been a longtime friend\, supporter and advocate of the OGCSA and its members. We hope you can attend to help us honor him for his service. \nAlong with Dr. Micah Woods\, also in attendance will be Mr. Steve Gould from Bayer Environmental Science. There has been a great deal of conversation this past year about the chemical Roundup (Glyphosate).

SUMMARY:2020 OGCSA/WWGCSA Service Project @ The Children's Course
DESCRIPTION:Regrettably\, out of an abundance of caution in response to the Coronavirus pandemic\, we have decided to postpone next week’s OGCSA | WWGCSA Service Project until further notice.\n  \nWe are excited to announce that on Thursday\, March 19th\, the 2nd annual OGCSA/WWGCSA joint service project will take place at the Children’s Course in Gladstone\, OR.  Once again Superintendents and industry partners from Oregon and Washington will be joining forces to give back to the community and assist the Children’s Course in completing maintenance projects around the property and give them a jump start to the 2020 golf season. \nThe Children’s Course is located in a beautiful setting nestled between the Clackamas and Willamette Rivers in Gladstone. It originally opened for play as Rivergreens Golf Course in 1961 as an 18-hole\, par 3 course. In 1989\, following the development of apartments on the perimeter\, the course was redesigned into a 9-hole\, par 3 course. \nIn 1996 founder\, Duncan Campbell and his wife Cindy\, had a vision to create a golf course that would be dedicated to children. The Children’s Course was born from this vision. Providing a location for children to learn and play the game of golf was just part of Duncan’s plan. He envisioned using golf to provide positive youth development. \nThe Children’s Course eventually partnered with the national organization\, The First Tee and has embraced its Core Values. Our mission is to impact the lives of kids ages 4-18 by providing learning facilities and educational programs. The game of golf helps to instill integrity and make people of rich character. \nThe Children’s Course operates as a non-profit 501 (c) (3)\, and is funded by private donations from foundations\, corporations and individuals. The golf course is home to The First Tee of Greater Portland\, which provides young people with character-building and life skills lessons using golf as the platform. \nTo learn more about the Children’s Course visit www.childrenscourse.org \nMap to event parking\n\nSchedule of Events\n8:00am – Breakfast\, Welcome & Job Assignment \n8:30am-1:00pm – Service Project \n1:00pm – Lunch \n**Parking will be in Meldrum Bar Park\, 19 Meldrum Bar Park Rd.\, Gladstone\, OR 97027 \nInterested in donating equipment\, product or funds to support this event?
