On September 14, the Canadian Golf Superintendents Association (CGSA), in conjunction with other global superintendent groups, is recognizing those who help keep the game going and enjoyable with “Thank a Golf Course Superintendent Day”, encouraging all those who love golf to thank their course’s superintendent.

Complimenting the momentum of the initiative in 2020, other groups taking part in the global event include the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), the British and International Golf Greenkeepers Association (BIGGA), the Australia Sports Turf Managers Association (ASTMA) and The Federation of European Golf Greenkeepers Associations (FEGGA). All together the groups represent more than 31,000 golf course management professionals in over 80 countries around the world.

The celebration on September 14 will include a commercial, recognizing superintendents around the world and social media messages touting the many ways that superintendents make the game more enjoyable and sustainable. Golfers and others are encouraged to join in the conversation on social media using the hashtag #ThankASuper.

CGSA will be hosting the Fall Field Day East on this day. The event is an opportunity for Superintendents to gather to share education, networking and an enjoyable game of golf. This will be the largest gathering of Superintendents held in Canada on this day at Summerlea Golf & Country Club in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Quebec.
