About Rounds 4 Research
The Rounds 4 Research program was designed to address a critical shortage in turfgrass research funding by auctioning donated rounds of golf online.
The program is administered by the Environmental Institute for Golf, the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America.
Rounds 4 Research allows GCSAA chapters and turfgrass foundations to participate as fundraising partners with the vast majority of proceeds going back to those organizations. In this way, these organizations can direct the proceeds to specific projects that will have the most significant impact in their local areas.
With your support, you can help us keep the future of our game green.

Donate in lieu of the Idaho GCSA Spring Meeting & Trade Show
2021-02-23 07:00 - 2021-03-31 12:30 (America/Denver)
The Spring Meeting & Trade Show has been cancelled due to the Idaho gathering limitations during the pandemic.

Message from our president:
Happy New Year!
We look forward to 2021 bringing some normalcy to the world as the year progresses.
Present COVID-19 guidelines in the state of Idaho restrict the size of gatherings. With our annual Spring Meeting and Trade Show scheduled in February, your Idaho GCSA Board of Directors has made the difficult decision to cancel the annual event held in Boise. Even if the restrictions are loosened prior to the event, golf facility restrictions and company restrictions may not allow many to participate – in addition to the personal reservations some of our members may still have.
We are fortunate to have enjoyed an in-person gathering this past fall – something many chapters across the country have not been able to experience. Our attendance was high, camaraderie shared, and pesticide re-certification credits, along with GCSAA EDUs, were earned.
With the cancellation of our upcoming February event and the spring golf season around the corner, we look forward to strong attendance and support at the 2021 Super/Pro Golf Challenge (TBD), and at the Northwest GCSA Turfgrass Expo this fall, where our chapter will join Peaks & Prairies GCSA and Inland Empire GCSA at the Coeur d’Alene Resort.
In the meantime, we encourage you all to participate in the 2021 GCSAA Virtual GIS. Outstanding education will be available throughout February at a reasonable cost for you and your employees. During these unprecedented times you many find several opportunities to further your education free of cost – but keep in mind that events such as the GIS use the proceeds to advance the turf professional and the turf industry.
We thank you all for your continued support of the Idaho GCSA.
Joe Aholt
Idaho GCSA President

Water Use in Idaho Open Forum
2017-07-20 09:00 - 12:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Water Use in Idaho Open Forum
July 20, 2017
9:00 am – 12:30 pm
Idaho Water Science Center
230 Collins Road, Boise, ID
Main Conference Room
Overview:
Every five years, the U.S. Geological Survey compiles county-level water use data for every state in the Union. (“Estimated Use of Water in the United States”; http://water.usgs.gov/watuse/50years.html). These county-level compilations are a cooperative effort between state agencies, federal partners, and the USGS to facilitate the collection of reliable and uniform water-use information. Statewide totals for water withdrawals (use) in Idaho have been reported with the rest of the Nation at five-year intervals beginning in 1950.
The Idaho Water Science Center is hosting a forum to present preliminary results from compilation year 2015. The objectives of this meeting are two-fold:
For the USGS to present 2015 results of water use by category—including Public Supply & Domestic, Irrigation, Aquaculture, Thermoelectric, Livestock, Mining, and Industrial—to brief our partners on data availability and its limitations.
To host an open forum to discuss the two categories most important in Idaho: irrigation and public supply; and how we might improve the methodology. What are we missing? Is there a better way?
Our primary goal is to produce better estimates of water use and more collaborative datasets during the compilation process. We would like to collectively identify the data gaps to continue to improve the use estimates in future compilations. We are seeking your expertise and your guidance on the best ways to do this.
Agenda:
9:00 – 9:25 am, Introductions
9:25 – 10:10 am, Overview of Water Use Compilation and 2015 Preliminary Results by Category
10:10 – 10:30 am, Break
10:30 – 11:30 am, Open Forum – Irrigation Water Use, methods and limitations
11:30 – 12:30 am, Open Forum – Public Supply & Domestic Water Use, methods and limitations
This meeting is free to attend, but please register here so that we can prepare for attendance:
