The NC government action committee is meeting in Charlotte at Jacobsen Headquarters in Charlotte. Jacobsen, along with Toro and John Deere, is one of the top 3 golf course equipment manufacturers. This meeting consists of representatives from the CMAA (Club managers), PGA, GCOAA (golf course owners) and CGCSA (supers). As I mentioned before, as a board member of the CGCSA, I serve as chairman of the NC government relation committee. This involves keeping abreast of legislation through our lobbyist.
Interesting note: the final numbers are in and the total economic benefit from the US Open was $165,000,000 over the 2 week period!
