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 companys 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 membersor if youd like to write an original articlewe encourage you to submit it for publication. 

FORMAT:  11 issues (10 electronic newsletters and one printed roster issue).  This year weve going 100% electronic with our monthly publication.  Instead of seeing your ad every other month in the magazine issues; your ad will now appear in every monthly issue.  We strongly recommend 4-color ads for the best spotlight on your company.  A separate Roster issue (a 60-page magazine with handy reference material) will be published, and also will include your ad.
