FROM THE PRESIDENT JEFF CASE

The Official Publication of the Tennessee Turfgrass Association and the Tennessee Valley Sports Turf Managers Association

Tennessee Turfgrass is the official publication of The Tennessee Turfgrass Association 400 Franklin Road Franklin, Tennessee 37069 (615) 591-8286 tnturfgrassassn@aol.com

hope this letter finds you already enjoying the beginning of a successful and pleasant 2004 season. Hopefully, an improved economy and great weather will smile upon all of us. Throughout the coming year, your Board of Directors for the Tennessee Turfgrass Association (TTA) will be busy working on many projects. One of our goals is to reinstate some of our former members. Membership in the TTA now has more to offer than ever before. To ensure that you will continue receiving this magazine and all the other benefits of your TTA membership, please reaffirm your decision to make this worthwhile investment. Some members have already sent in their applications —if you have done so, thank you for your support of our Association. If you know of someone who has let his or her membership lapse, please encourage them to “come back into the fold.” Another goal of your TTA Board is to further solidify our partnership with the University of Tennessee. Through the years, the TTA has been very fortunate to have a great relationship with the University and its staff. In fact, in the early years, the TTA was run primarily by UT professors and extension personnel. Now we are hopeful that the TTA can play a major roll in all of UT’s turfgrass-related endeavors, including research and extension. We are already tossing around some ideas, but let us know if you have any ideas on how to fulfill this goal. On behalf of all TTA members, I wanted to send our heartfelt condolences to Jamie Eller and her family upon the death of her husband, Richard. Many of you knew Richard and are aware of his many contributions to our industry. In 1971 and 1977, Richard won the Tennessee State Open, and in 1993, the Eller family was named Golf Family of the Year by the National Golf Foundation. When the Tennessee Section PGA opened its 2004 season with its 37th Annual Spring Education Seminar and Annual Meeting, members honored Richard by dedicating its 2004 Growth of the Game effort to him. These are just three of the many honors bestowed on Richard through the years. Jamie, of course, has been an integral part of our group of professionals that help prepare for and successfully run the TTA Conference every year. In this issue of Tennessee Turfgrass, our annual Resource Guide, you’ll find the complete membership rosters of the Tennessee Turfgrass Association and the Tennessee Valley Sports Turf Managers Association, as well as contact listings for the many companies that support our two organizations. May this issue be a great tool for finding colleagues who can help make you even more successful. Jeff Case, TTA President

The TVSTMA is the local chapter of the Sports Turf Managers Association (STMA), which is a national organization. The TVSTMA is a non-profit organization that through the use of educational and on-field seminars, allows members to receive knowledge regarding Turfgrass and any subjects that are related to athletics. The TVSTMA welcomes any person who wants to gain knowledge about athletic fields and how to manage them to make them safe and playable. The TVSTMA was formed in 1997 through a collective effort of professional people who had a desire to increase the knowledge base about sports fields. Through this organization, the TVSTMA chapter was formed and thus, the chapter became recognized on the national level. This chapter has grown from 35 members to over 250 members as of 2002. With an increasing presence in the communities located throughout the tri-state area, and in conjunction with the Tennessee Turfgrass Association, the TVSTMA is a growing chapter. We would like to encourage all members to stay actively involved in the field and educational seminars. 28
