The time of year to reflect and review

Thank you to everyone who had responded to the environmental surveys that have come out the past few months. Now, there's another one in your inbox. This survey, the GCSAA Member Needs Assessment, is important to us so we know how we're doing with our efforts to serve you and serve the golf industry. You should have received the e-mail as of December 7. This time of year is especially busy, so we appreciate you taking a few moments to provide us with feedback.

This is also the time of year to reflect on the events of 2015 and start planning for 2016.  I've had the chance to meet and work with some amazing people in the Southeast this year and everyone seems to be headed for bigger and better things in 2016.  I'd like to thank all the chapter executives and their staff for making all of the chapters function so well.  I'd also like to thank the chapter boards for their willingness to give their time and push our industry forward; we have some great thinkers here in the Southeast.  Finally, I'd like to thank the members of the five chapters with which I work.  I have had the opportunity to meet hundreds of members this year and I look forward to meeting hundreds more in the next year.  I plan on visiting at least 50 courses this year in my travels, so don't be surprised if you get an email asking if I can stop in for a visit.

I hope to see everyone in San Diego for the 2016 Golf Industry Show! You can sign up for the GIS and the Golf Championship here. Happy holidays!
