GCSAA

This morning, GCSAA's Government Affairs committee kicked off #NationalGolfDay meetings with visits to the @EPA and @USDOL. These meetings provided an opportunity to discuss the benefits and needs of the golf course management industry and the golf industry as a whole. Agenda items included #H2B visas, workforce development initiatives, land use, economic impact, environmental sustainability and collaboration opportunities.
