THE GOLF COURSE SUPERINTENDENTS ASSOCIATION OF AMERICA
Mr. MORAN (for himself, Mr. Marshall, Mrs. Fischer, Mrs. Hyde-Smith, Mr. Kelly, and Mrs. Capito) submitted the following resolution; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary:
S. Res. 834
Whereas the Golf Course Superintendents Association of
America (in this preamble referred to as “ `GCSAA”) was
founded in 1926, as the National Association of Greenkeepers
of America, to do great work advancing the art and science of
greenkeeping;
Whereas GCSAA is the top golf-course management association
in the United States and worldwide;
Whereas GCSAA is the professional association for the men
and women who manage and maintain the game's most valuable
resource—the golf course;
Whereas GCSAA provides education, information, and
representation to over 20,000 members in more than 78
countries;
Whereas GCSAA serves its members, advances their
profession, and improves communities through the enjoyment,
growth, and vitality of the game of golf;
Whereas the golf industry, which contributes
$226,500,000,000 annually to the United States economy,
recognizes GCSAA as a key contributor in elevating the game
and business;
Whereas golf courses managed by GCSAA members provide
substantial environmental and community benefits;
Whereas GCSAA believes golf course management should be
sustainable for the future of the game and the earth;
Whereas GCSAA is at the forefront of the golf industry's
efforts to promote environmental stewardship and helps its
members manage courses in an environmentally responsible
manner;
Whereas GCSAA provides members and the golf course industry
with the tools and information necessary to enhance their
environmental stewardship;
Whereas GCSAA shepherded the establishment of environmental
best management practices guidelines in all 50 States;
Whereas GCSAA funds research that helps golf facilities
manage their courses more efficiently and sustainably;
Whereas GCSAA's First Green program introduces elementary
through high school students to STEAM (science, technology,
engineering, art, and math) concepts through field trips to
golf courses;
Whereas GCSAA's First Green curriculum benefits students by
helping them apply their classroom knowledge in an outdoor
setting, understand how STEAM concepts connect, and find new
inspiration in their schoolwork and in the possibility of a
career in golf or a STEAM-related field;
Whereas GCSAA's workforce development initiatives provide
career guidance, professional development, certificate and
certification opportunities, and scholarships to help
individuals build meaningful careers;
Whereas GCSAA provides advocacy and outreach to its members
to help ensure the future of the profession and the game of
golf;
Whereas the late golf legend Arnold Palmer once said, “The
Golf Course Superintendents Association of America and all
golf course superintendents are probably the most important
entity that we have in golf”; and
Whereas GCSAA members have been keeping the game of golf on
course for a century and are committed to making the next 100
years even more remarkable: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate recognizes the 100th anniversary
of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.
