Leader in manufacturing and supply of crop protection and specialty chemicals joins GCSAA Partner Recognition Program

Lawrence, Kan. (Sept. 26, 2023) – Albaugh Specialty Products, which was known until recently in the golf market as Prime Source, has pledged its support of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) and its members through participation in the association's Partner Recognition Program. Albaugh Specialty Products will invest resources at the program's Silver Partner level.

"While Albaugh Specialty Products understands that when golf course superintendents succeed in their roles, it benefits the entire game of golf and improves communities, and their support backs programs that help superintendents succeed,” said GCSAA CEO Rhett Evans. "GCSAA is thankful to Albaugh Specialty Products for their partnership.”

Albaugh Specialty Products is also a regular donor to the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show Silent Auction, which raises funds for the GCSAA Foundation.

“Albaugh Specialty Products is proud to support GCSAA as a Silver Partner,” said Russ Mitchell, director of Albaugh Specialty Products. “We understand the commitment that superintendents across the country make every day to ensure that their courses achieve the best turf quality and playability possible for the enjoyment of their golfers. That’s no easy job. To that end, we appreciate and support the commitment that GCSAA makes to providing the best continuing education programs and support resources available to its members. GCSAA and its emphasis on advancing the work of superintendents and golf course management professionals are critical to the future of the game.”

GCSAA’s Partner Recognition Program provides year-round exposure based on a prescribed level of investment. GCSAA industry partners can choose among Platinum, Gold or Silver levels as a means to achieve marketing objectives. Each level provides partners unique communications and recognition options to position themselves in the marketplace. Vehicles in the program include the GCSAA Conference and Trade Show, GCM magazine, media communications, social media and GCSAA.org. Additional opportunities for exposure within GCSAA membership, committees, chapters, career services and others exist as well.

The program offers industry partners strategic, diverse and ongoing communication with members. The association’s primary communications vehicles are the most read in the industry and are considered the cornerstone of marketing activities by the industry. Additional program features desired by companies in their marketing mix are maximizing year-round visibility, securing proprietary options and engaging in philanthropy in a strategic manner by supporting the GCSAA Foundation.
