I just heard that the GCSAA (Golf Course Superintendents Association) MAY be starting a tech award called “The Most Valuable Technician” Award. Currently there are two awards for techs in the industry, TurfNet’s (SuperNEWS) Technician of the Year, started in 2002 ; and The IGCEMA (International Golf Course Equipment Managers Association) and Ransomes Jacobsen’s, “The Edwin Budding Award, started in 2008.
I think everyone enjoys a bit of recognition but this award puzzles me since the GCSAA doesn’t recognize the position of Equipment Manager/Technicians in their association. This has been a pet peeve of more than a few of us over the years. I think most would rather forgo an award and settle for aknowledgement of the position.
