About our Association
The Hudson Valley Golf Course Superintendents Association was formed from the Southern Tier Association that was founded in 1961 by the Mid Hudson Valley Superintendents. In 1963 a meeting at Sullivan County Country Club was held to discuss the feasibility of forming a local association conforming to the guide lines of the "National" for chapter membership. In October of 1963 the HVGCSA was born at Otterkill Country Club. All of the original members of The Southern Tier Turf Association were automatically made members of the HVGCSA.
OFFICIAL MOTTO
To promote interest and good will in the association, encourage good relations between members and the clubs they represent and to keep up with the current developments in turf and related work.
