Greenkeepers Golf Day organised to raise funds for sick superintendent
The Blue Mountains & Western Districts Greenkeepers Golf Day is an annual golf event which prides itself on providing Greenkeepers from the Central West of NSW, accompanied with representatives of the turf industry a social networking opportunity.
The objective of the event is to raise the profile of country golf courses by inviting metropolitan NSW Greenkeepers to come along and network or share potential ideas.
The event has been running for well over 20 years and has become a permanent fixture in the turf industry calendar.
After hearing earlier this year that one of the club’s Superintendents Jason Seis, had been diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma it was decided to dedicate the event this year to raising funds to assist Jason moving forward.
Jason is very well known in the district and has previously worked at Wentworth Falls Country Club and more recently been Superintendent at Mudgee Golf Club for nearly 10 years. Jason recently became engaged to his partner Debbie and they have six kids in their family to care for while he takes the fight head on to battle this aggressive form of blood cancer.
This year the event takes place at Bathurst Golf Club on 10th May and we hope to raise as much money as possible for Jason. If you are interested in donating to Jason please contact the event organiser Steve Smith on 0418 447 246.
Note: This week, May 8-14, the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) has announced “Thank a Golf Course Superintendent Week,” encouraging all those who love golf to thank their course’s superintendent.
