From the TTA President

What a Summer!

Triple digit heat, lows in the 60’s, drought, flooding, and Fall Army worms in late July. Membership and coaches don’t care about that though. They are just a few wrenches that Mother Nature likes to throw at us. Add those to an already packed schedule and limited resources, and it can make life tough. We get through it though.

That is why we are professionals. We adapt and overcome. We lean on each other for various resources. Keep your heads up. Hopefully, relief is around the corner. As summer lingers into fall, college football makes its return, Bentgrass becomes a little happier, & kids return to school.

Speaking of kids, the FedEx St.Jude Championship has just ended. I watched a video of Nick Bisanz show a young man, Quentin Hines, the agronomy side of golf. What an ambassador to our industry! It is encouraging to see young people still interested in this industry and a person like Nick to provide him with an experience he will never forget.

Your Board of Directors have been working diligently to provide you with an outstanding Conference & Tradeshow with some top-notch education. I am looking forward to seeing everyone, old friends and new, in Murfreesboro in a few months. Until then, I hope you are well and having a successful season. Relief is around the corner…

Best Wishes,

Ryan Storey
