The weather, of course. Well unfortunately that topic remains pervasive among golf course owners and operators. And save a couple of short-term exceptions, our weather could not be worse. Again we are way ahead on precipitation and we can’t catch a break to capture much revenue. You would think that roulette ball would land on a black number after 10 straight red numbers!  \nAs golf course owners and operators, it is critical that we have a business and political climate that is fair and balanced in allowing us to operate our courses. Today’s political landscape is challenging to say the least, and our goal is to make sure that our elected officials are informed about our industry, so they can make good decisions when they involve the business that is our livelihood. Golf not only supports us and our families, it is crucial to our fellow workers, employees and millions of Americans that enjoy the fun and healthy experience of golf. To this end, I will be traveling on May 1 of this year with our Executive Director David Norman to Washington, DC for National Golf Day. We will join a group of hundreds of members of the golf community in our continuing effort to provide relevant information to the members of Congress that form the backbone of our governing process.  \nBut as we lament, it’s time to make our own luck. And we are getting a big assist from the USGA to keep golf in North Carolina out in front of the news media and golfers starting this year. Two events will be televised nationally – the 2nd US Senior Women’s Open at Pine Needles in May and the US Amateur at Pinehurst No. 2 in August. In addition, Old Chatham GC in the Durham area hosts the US Senior Amateur later in August. In subsequent years, the US Junior heads to The Country Club of North Carolina in 2021, then the US Women’s Open to Pine Needles in 2022 and the US Open returns to Pinehurst No. 2 in 2024.  \nAnd once again, there were some true superstars in our business, who triumph despite strong headwinds last season. These leaders are celebrated in our awards article. Kudos to North Carolina Golf Leader Ron Schmid, PGA, Course of the Year Sedgefield Country Club led by Beverly Marler, and Sustainability Leader Bald Head Island Club, led by superintendent Adam Bachmeier.  \nAnd reporting from a national perspective, the Golf Business Conference in San Diego was excellent. David Feherty was honored and spoke. There were great speakers and excellent education. And they announced a new alliance with the PGA of America – henceforth, our conference will be paired with the PGA Merchandise Show, the largest gathering in the industry. This has a lot of potential.  \nLooking ahead, the National Golf Day festivities take place on April 30 – May 1 on Capitol Hill. Our Government Relations man Ronnie Miles will lead the contingent – you are invited – click here for details. This important event helps legislators better understand the golf industry and its importance to our economy, our environment and our health.  \nInside our newsletter, you will find some information on some of the NGCOA member services, including Smart Buy and Women’s Golf Day. If you aren’t a member yet, click here for our membership brochure.  \nNow a word about our Corporate Partners. We now have 15 companies supporting our organization, and their support allows us to serve you better. John Deere distributors Revels Tractor and Greenville Turf & Tractor combined to be our first Diamond Partners. I was pleased to support the association with my family company Seven Jars Distillery also at the Diamond Level.
