2020 OGCSA/WWGCSA Service Project @ The Children's Course
2020-03-19 08:00 - 13:00 | The Children’s Course, 19 Meldrum Bar Park Road, Gladstone, 97027, United States
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.

We 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.
The 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.
In 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.
The 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.
The 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.

Oregon/Washington GCSA Virtual BMP Facility Workshop
2021-04-29 11:30 - 13:00 | Webinar Meeting
Best Management Practices (BMPs) are the tools that successful superintendents use every day to maintain quality playing surfaces. The adoption of BMP plans at the facility level helps the Oregon, Western Washington, and Inland Empire chapters and GCSAA to advocate for golf course superintendents with national, state and local lawmakers as well as the media by demonstrating our commitment to professional land management using science-based BMPs including the responsible use of inputs.
The Oregon GCSA, Western Washington GCSA, and Inland Empire GCSA invite you to learn about creating a BMP guide for your facility.
Date: April 29, 2021
Time: 11:30 am to 1:00 pm PDT
Location: Online GoToWebinar
In this workshop Mark Johnson, David Phipps and Emily Fuger, GCSAA will explain why BMPs are important at your facility and show how easy it is to use GCSAA’s tool to develop your own BMP plan. Lastly, we will help you start adapting the state guide to your own facility by leading you through some highlights of one chapter. We encourage you to use a split screen with GoToWebinar to follow along and create/work on your own facility BMP. In addition to the benefit of having a BMP plan, you will earn 0.2 education points from GCSAA for attending the session, and you can also earn 0.50 service points once you complete your plan.
Register for the workshop on-line at
https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7394500884203459856
Questions about this workshop? Contact Alexis Wenker at ogcsa@ogcsa.org or (503)344-6535 or Mark Johnson at mjohnson@gcsaa.org or (785)312-5161.
BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES – WHY NOW?

BMP plans are more important than ever before. While you’re probably already employing many BMP practices, having the plan proves to those outside the golf industry that superintendents are professional land managers guided by peer-reviewed science and are committed to making the best choices for their facilities communities.
BMP plans create opportunities for the golf industry to demonstrate healthy land stewardship.
BMP plans help preserve existing grant funding for turfgrass research that helps golf remain environmentally and financially sustainable.
BMP plans are excellent communications tools when talking with the public, media or special interest groups.
GCSAA’s BMP program has inspired local, state and federal partnerships, which demonstrate golf as a model in professional land management.
BMPs help keep products in the golf market when GCSAA submits comments to EPA on active ingredients making their way through Registration Review.
BMP plans help protect golf against legislation and regulation that affect the golf industry.

PREPARE FOR THE WEBINAR

Have your computer ready to access the webinar through the GoToMeeting software.
View the PDF of the Oregon Guide or Washington Guide.
Visit GCSAA’s Brief How-To Videos located at org/bmp which will familiarize you with the tool. Each of the videos is less than 5 minutes in length.
The seminar will be recorded and made available On Demand at gcsaa.org to assist you with the completion of your guide.
