The Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) has awarded its 2013 Joseph S. Garske Collegiate Grants to Kristen Sauer, Catherine Felicetti, Christopher McAvoy, Samantha Bradley and Kaci Whitehead.
The Garske Grant was established in honor of Par Aide company founder Joseph S. Garske. It is funded by Par Aide, a golf course accessory company, and administered by the Environmental Institute for Golf, the philanthropic organization of GCSAA. The program assists children and stepchildren of GCSAA members to fund their education at an accredited college or trade school with one-time, one-year grants awarded to five winners without renewals. Grants are based on community service, leadership, academic performance and a written essay.
“We appreciate the longtime support of Par Aide and congratulate these young members of the extended GCSAA family,” said GCSAA President Patrick R. Finlen, CGCS. “The Garske grants are a testament to the camaraderie within the golf course management industry.”
“We believe it’s important to recognize golf course superintendents for their tireless dedication to the game of golf,” said Steve Garske, Par Aide president. “It’s great to be able to give something back to superintendents and their children.”
