Updated OTA News

Hi all, hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Just wanted to provide some updates and local news in the area. We would like to welcome new member Aaron Borland to the OTA, Aaron is the golf course superintendent at Carthage Golf Course.

We would like to let everyone know, that there will be a GCSAA Town Hall tomorrow (Monday, May 11th), at Noon our time. You can register online. This Town Hall will feature guest U.S. Representative Steve Watkins (R-Kan) who will discuss steps Congress is taking to address the coronavirus pandemic and the potential impact on golf. And GCSAA CEO will share the latest on the Back2Golf campaign, with other updates. I know with the forecast tomorrow and the rest of the week, attending during the Town Hall might not be possible, but you can always go back and watch it later this week, because of the forecast.

The Back2Golf Operational guidelines are now available on the GCSAA website. It is a three-phase plan that was developed with allied golf organizations including GCSAA, that will help lead golf for a responsible return. Many states are now just opening up to the phase 1 that we have been in here since the beginning.

We would like to announce that GCSAA does have health insurance now access available to those members whose employers might not have health insurance to offer, or due to small staffing sizes, can not secure affordable rates for their employees. Please check it out if you have a need, believe me, I am more grateful, especially over these last few years, that I have had some great insurance.

We hope all the moms in your life had a great day today!

Stay tuned as we hope to be providing more news in the coming days and weeks.

Thanks for reading!
