FMC Corporation opened its Give Back to Local Golf Course Superintendents Association of America Chapters program at the virtual 2021 Golf Industry Show. With $25,000 in total donations for the top 30 local chapters spots on the leaderboard, the Masterpiece Hunt game saw friendly competition from more than 70 local GCSAA chapters.

“We were blown away by the sheer number of players and also the level of competition during the show,” said Evan Parenti, golf & lawn care marketing manager for FMC Professional Solutions. “I think it’s a reflection of the passion inherent in the industry and just how important local GCSAA chapters are to golf as a whole.”

By the end of show, more than 600 individual members battled to climb the leaderboard, with frequent lead changes throughout. Ultimately, the Connecticut GCSA chapter took the top spot and the $5,000 donation prize, but FMC would like to congratulate all chapters and thank all participants for their enthusiasm and participation.

“It’s programs like this that truly matter to the chapters — the programs that put resources back in the hands of the teams fulfilling the mission statements across the country for the chapters,” said Tim Kreger, executive director of Carolinas GCSA. “It is rare when actual money is transacted other than sponsorships and partnerships, so this program stands out each year at GIS to the Carolinas.”

The fundraiser was an initiative driven by the FMC True Champions program launched last year and is becoming an annual fixture at GIS. After the kickoff event at GIS, the program shifts into its season-long component, where FMC tracks purchases of qualified products and then submits the ‘give back’ donations directly to the designated GCSAA chapters.

“FMC is resolutely committed to supporting the golf industry and those who are helping it progress each day,” Parenti said. “With the ongoing impact of COVID we feel it is more important than ever to demonstrate sustained commitment to golf and especially with regard to local chapters.”
