ANNOUNCEMENTS  

 

The Kentucky Golf Economic Impact Study has been completed, and details can be reviewed by clicking http://www.golf2020.com/economicresearch.aspx. A few key figures to consider from the survey.....In 2009, Kentucky's golf industry generated a total economic impact of $710.4 million, supporting 11,000 jobs with $218.7 million of wage income. This study was funded through a joint effort by the World Golf Foundation, Kentucky Section PGA, Kentucky Golf Association, and Kentucky Golf Foundation. A formal ceremony to unveil the study will be conducted in conjunction with the upcoming Senior PGA Championship. The date and location for the ceremony will be announced at a later date.


The Kentucky Golf Association is pleased to announce an opportunity for its member clubs to secure discounted pricing on the USGA Green Section's Turf Advisory Service. This offer, which is available through May 13, entitles facilities to receive full- day or half-day visits from USGA Green Section staff at substantial savings. The service includes a written follow-up report to the facility from the USGA Green Section. Recommendations from the USGA Green Section are specific for the course visited, and value satisfaction is guaranteed. Please note this service is available only to Kentucky Golf Association member clubs. This marks the fourth consecutive year for this program, and the Kentucky Golf Association thanks the USGA for its continued support. For more information, visit www.kygolf.org.
