Heartbeat
The
Heartbeat
is the primary communication tool for our
Association, and
a resource
for
all of those in the golf course,
turfgrass and related industries.
What better way to
get
your
company’s name, product line, services and
message in front
of those that use
them
most?
The support of advertisers has helped to make the
Heartbeat
the quality publication it
is.
We also encourage your editorial
input. Anytime you come across an article
or news
release you
think would be of interest to our members–or if you’d
like to
write an original
article–we encourage you to submit it for
publication.
FORMAT:
11
issues (5 printed magazines, 5 electronic newsletters and a printed roster issue). Magazine and
newsletter
issues alternate monthly. Magazine issues vary in length and
will contain your
ad exactly as you submit it. Newsletter
issues are four
(4) pages and will prominently list
your company name and phone number. A separate Roster issue (a 60-page
magazine with handy
reference material) will be published in early summer, and also will include your ad.
