Ozark Turf Association Member Achieves Class A

Kolby Armbruster, Golf Course Superintendent at Ledgestone Country Club in Branson West, achieved Class A status last month with the Golf Course Superintendent Association of America (GCSAA). Kolby was recognized in the February 2023 issue of Golf Course Mangement.

The Ozark Turf Association would like to congratulate Kolby for reaching this milestone.

The definition of a Class A member is a golf industry professional; who possesses knowledge, skills and abilities through a combination of education, experience, professional development and environmental stewardship; and has met and continues to fulfill on-going Class A renewal requirements.

For members looking to earn Class A status, it consists of a combination of formal education, experience as a golf course superintendent, continuing education and providing proof of a valid pesticide license or passing the GCSAA IPM Exam. Class A membership demonstrates a personal commitment to lifelong learning, environmental stewardship and elevating the golf course management profession. It also shows employers that your achievements and competencies are documented and validated. For those looking to pursue Class A status, reach out to Shelia Finney, Senior Director of Member Programs at GCSAA, or our Central Field Representative Randy Robinson.
