Turf Club Meeting 9/17/13
For those of you who could not make it to the meeting here is what was discussed
Fall Golf Outing
- This Saturday 9/21/13
- Indian Creek in Nevada
- Tee Off at 9:00 am
- $35 gets you 18 holes as well as a sack lunch
- This is an opportunity to get to know your fellow turf students as well as a chance to bring friends and family for cheap golf.
- Let Spencer know by Wednesday night (9/18) if you want to play
ISTMA Workshop
- Thursday 9/19/13 It is THIS THURSDAY. Please let Nick or Dan know ASAP if you would like to attend
- Cost is $20 per student
- This workshop is a great way to learn more about the industry as well as network with future employers.
- Hosted by Tim VanLoo at the new athletic field complex
Fundraising
- We decided to sell raffle tickets for the signed flag from the Reno Tahoe Open that Spencer and Andrew brought back from their internship
- Cost was over $120 to get it framed so we need to sell tickets to try and get a profit from it.
- Cost is $5 a ticket or 5 tickets for $20
- The Drawing will be held on January 30th at the IGCSA conference
Scholarships
- ITI, IGCSA, and ISTMA
- These Scholarship applications are all due October 31st
- Some of these require an Advisor support letter so get started and talk to Nick soon.
Logo Problems
- We are now able to use the ISU logo so we decided to keep them the same as last year.
- More info on clothing to come soon
United Way Auction
- As a Club we voted to donate a total of 10 hours to the United Way Auction.
- This means that in the near future we will need volunteers to do fall cleanup for whoever buys those hours at the auction
- Keep in mind that these hours worked will go towards the STMA and GCSAA trips for whoever is able to help.
Turf Bowl and STMA Trips
- For those interested in going on the trips you need to register as a member of either the GCSAA or the STMA in order to go. Do this now before the trips sneak up on us.
- STMA cost $25
- GCSAA cost $30

mentioned at the meeting were Indian Hills, Veenker, and Honey Creek. If you
have any other ideas for the outing let Spencer Nielson know immediately as
this outing is already being planned.
