| Question: | "I am looking for new ways to communicate with and educate the club's membership. Signs, newsletters, and even e-mails seem to get lost in the shuffle when it comes to things like communicating the need for frost delays, aeration, and topdressing, etc. All are critical to the agronomic success of our course, but I feel like everyone has grown numb to hearing "superintendent talk," as they now call it. Many think these agronomic issues are just my personal ideas. Can you offer any suggestions?" |

| Answer/Response: | "It sounds like you are doing more than many in regard to communication. Unfortunately, it is not uncommon for members to become numb to messages that are agronomic in nature. To help communicate these points, try using the new animations on the USGA's web page. These brief video clips cover a variety of topics, including ball mark repair, course etiquette, bunker consistency, frost delays, hand watering, and putting green aeration. The animations are available free of charge. A CD, An Animated Journey from Tee to Green, also is available for purchase, and several clubs have had great success playing the animations in the clubhouse, pro shop, or wherever golfers congregate." |
