Welcome to the Heart of America Golf Course Superintendents Association website.  We are a Kansas City area
chapter of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, organized in 1933.

Our Mission is to promote the welfare of the game of golf, the science and art of golf course management, the organizational and business effectiveness of the profession, the professional image and well-being of individual members,
and to unite golf course superintendents in the greater Kansa City area.

We Provide meetings, education and special events for golf course superintendents and others affiliated with the golf maintenance business. One of our major activities is to host an annual scholarship and research tournament to raise funds 
to support our charitable activities, including providing scholarships to turfgrass students and funding turfgrass research at land-grant universities.

A Golf Course Superintendent is one who is entrusted with the management and operation of the tract of land defined as a golf course, including involvement in construction and maintenance of golf courses and related equipment.
