| FROM THE GCBAA |
The Golf Course Builders Association of America’s members are dedicated to the professionalism of golf course construction and renovation. For more than three decades, they’ve been providing golf development with the best built courses in America. GCBAA members are proud to participate in the annual Golf Course Industry Builder Excellence Awards that recognize the best builders in four categories: best new construction project, best reconstruction project, best renovation project and best environmental project. On behalf of the GCBAA’s entire membership, I would like to congratulate the 2008 Builder Excellence Award winners and Golf Course Industry for this excellent program recognizing these outstanding builders and providing this competition to strive for these prestigious awards. The program also provides an incentive for an entire team of builders to strive to be the best at what they do. Bob Pinson, GCBAA president |
