Ice Resources

No secret here, the region stands to see a greater impact from ice this year than in recent history.  Many educational resources are being mobilized by allied associations and publications.  GCSAA is no exception.  The GCSAA staff has compiled valuable information from the many archived resources in an effort to deliver another source for you in the field.  Links to these resources are below:

While the region still waits to determine the potential impact of ice on the course in 2014, I hope you will find value in some of these articles.  As always, your GCSAA Field Staff will be at your service to help in any way we can.
