The Association is a Fraternal conglomerate of Professional Turf Managers, their assistants and a wide range of other turf related specialists who have a direct connection with the Golf Course Industry. The Association we have today began back in the 1930's when regular gatherings took place between our Greenkeeping predecessors to discuss and exchange methods and strategies in search of the higher standards of presentation for their fine turf areas. The NSWGCSA has grown considerably from those early days, but the objectives have remained the same. However these days the standards demanded on golf courses have increased dramatically and the need to communicate with other Turf Professionals has become even more important.. As our membership grows so does the pool of information available to each member; and the more influence the Association gains in matters that concern the industry and the Golf Superintendent themselves.
