"Scott Family" Educational Support Foundation
Knowledge Equals Success
In 1996 the Michigan Golf Course Association created a separate tax exempt foundation with a mission of "providing training, education and professional development for Michigan golf course owners and operators." Because of the generous initial financial support from the Scott family of Gull Lake View Golf Course in Augusta, the Foundation was named in their honor.
The core belief of the MGCA "Scott Family" Educational Support Foundation is that continuing education opportunities are vital to the success of golf course owners and operators.
Activities of The ESF
The Foundation provides low cost seminars and training programs for owners, operators and key employees. Additionally, the Foundation helps underwrite the cost of presentations by nationally recognized speakers at our Golf Business Conference each fall.
