2013 Events

The MiGCSA District Committees have been working hard to get the 2013 Event Calender completed. This is always a work in progress and the most up to date information is always available at www.migcsa.org. Some of the venues for 2013 include Pilgrims Run, Arcadia Bluffs, Metamora Golf & Country Club, The Nightmare, The Emerald, and Egypt Valley Country Club. We also have some great education lined up for the Spring Management meetings in late February and early March in Detroit, Grand Rapids and Gaylord. A few highlights for those events are Dr. Frank Wong, Pat Jones, Lyne Tumlinson, Dr. Rob Golembiewski, Dr. Kevin Frank, Dr, Emily Merewitz and many more.

Of course coming up soon is the 2013 Michigan Turf Conference. If you have not signed up for this event yet you have to get to Lansing. The lineup is second to none, it is the can't miss event of 2013. You can see the entire lineup at www.mtfconference.org and register online as well.

The Michigan Gathering in San Diego will be at Busters Beach House, just steps away from the conference center on Wednesday February 6th from 8:00 - 11:00 pm. Join the MiGCSA for complimentary appetizers in the upstairs Beach Loft with a beautiful view overlooking the San Diego Bay and the Coronado Bay Bridge. This event is not limited to just MiGCSA members, all are welcome. For more information and to pre register for an accurate count please Click Here.

Hopefully we will see everyone at the Turf Conference Kick Off Show at Spartan Stadium on Tuesday January 22nd, the MiGCSA will be at booth #12. Stop by and say hi!

And on a personal note my wife and I had our first child on December 17th at 11:01 pm. Adalyn Grace Ikamas was 7 pounds, 2 ounces and 19 inches long. She was born via emergency C section but everyone is doing great.
