Keith Ihms, who was elected President of the GCSAA at the 2014 Golf Indsutry Show, announced in a statement today that he has left his position at The Country Club of Little Rock.
"Although it has been nearly a month since I was elected to lead your national association as president during the GCSAA Annual Meeting and Election in Orlando, I am still humbled and honored by the opportunity I have been given. The trust that you have placed in me to lead this organization through changing times in our industry is something I do not take lightly.
Recently, I have been witness to the changing nature of golf course management at a very personal level, and I felt compelled to notify GCSAA members about these changes. Effective March 1, I left my position as the director of grounds maintenance at the Country Club of Little Rock (Ark.), a position I had held since 2005. Per GCSAA bylaws, I will continue to serve as your national president during this time of transition. I want to assure you that while I am exploring new opportunities in my career as a golf course superintendent, the duties and responsibilities that come with the presidency of GCSAA will never be far from my mind and will continue to receive my full attention and focus during this period.
During both my career and my time of service on the GCSAA Board of Directors, I have always adhered to an open-door policy, and that certainly will not change during this time of transition in my life. I appreciate your thoughts, and thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Keith A. Ihms, CGCS
GCSAA President"
