California Golf Course Superintendents Association shows support to California Alliance for Golf

The California Golf Course Superintendents Association (CAGCSA) has contributed $6,000 to the California Alliance for Golf (CAG) to assist the organization’s efforts to promote the game of golf in California.

A non-profit organization, CAG’s mission is to enhance business opportunities by serving as an advocate for the golf industry before the state’s legislative bodies and government agencies while promoting the economic, environmental, and numerous community-based benefits the game of golf provides to the citizens of California.




The CAG unifies all aspects and entities within the golf industry including: amateur golf associations (men, women, juniors and seniors), golf professionals, course superintendents, golf course owners and club managers, course architects and builders, management companies, hard and soft good vendors, and major equipment manufacturers.

“The California Golf Course Superintendents Association is a proud member of CAG and our financial contribution will assist the organization in sharing its message with all who participate in the game throughout California,” said Jim Alwine, president of the CAGCSA and Class A superintendent at Bernardo Heights Country Club in San Diego, Calif. “Our members benefit from the advocacy and lobbying efforts of CAG, effectively improving our government relations network. CAG’s commitment to the industry and growth of the game is outstanding."


“We are thrilled with this contribution from the California Golf Course Superintendents Association and it comes at a critical time, as we are in the process of expanding our outreach efforts,” said Tom Addis, president of CAG and executive director of the Southern California PGA.  “In addition to providing us with excellent playing conditions, golf course superintendents are integral to the overall enjoyment of the game and we are happy to collaborate with their association.”
