Welcome to the Official Website

of the Lone Star Golf Course Superintendents Association





For the past 25 years, The Lone Star Texas Trophy continues to be the premier event of the year for the Lone Star GCSA.
 
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to participate as a sponsor of the 25th anniversary Lone Star Texas Trophy at Horseshoe Bay Resort on September 19-21, 2010. 
 
LSGCSA has a great event planned again this year.  As in the past, sponsorships allow us to keep the entry fees down to encourage more participation and still provide that great event everyone has come to expect.
 
The Trophy is fast approaching and a sponsorship with the LSGCSA continues to be a great value, especially if someone in your organization plans to participate anyway.  With your support, we can make this event the best yet.  We appreciate your continued support and hope to see you in September.




Horseshoe Bay Resort

25th Anniversary of the Texas Trophy

September 19-21, 2010

 

Horseshoe Bay is Texas' premier lake and golf resort. This 7,000 acre luxury resort lies along the panoramic shores of Lake LBJ in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. Located just 45 minutes northwest of Austin, Texas, Horseshoe Bay Resort is the perfect place to play, relax, meet or entertain.

Luxurious accommodations include the 385-room Horseshoe Bay Resort Marriott hotel, including 117 suites and villas at the adjacent Paseo villas, in addition to the 50 luxury lakefront condominiums available for rent at The Waters at Horseshoe Bay Resort.

Golfers can hit the links with three championship Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf courses and a unique, made-to-scale, 18-hole par 72 bermudagrass putting course, Whitewater. Rejuvenate in the full-service spa offering a wide variety of body treatments, massage therapy, facials and nail and salon services. Make a splash in four sparkling swimming pools, and play on constant-level Lake LBJ with personal watercraft and boat rentals at the marina.

Horseshoe Bay Resort also offers seven dining facilities, 16 adult tennis courts, three USTA-sponsored Andy Roddick Kids' Tennis Courts and two fitness facilities, plus a private airport and jet center with a 6,000-foot runway.

Named one of America’s Best Golf Resorts by Golf Magazine in 2006, Horseshoe Bay Resort is home to three championship Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf courses - Slick Rock, Ram Rock and Apple Rock. Golf course architect Jones, Sr., designed an estimated 500 prestigious courses during his lifetime. His three creations for Horseshoe Bay Resort are among his    finest works of art. The courses have all been featured in the "50 Best Courses in Texas" list in the Dallas Morning News every year since the origin of the annual ranking in 1989.


The three golf courses at Horseshoe Bay Resort are more than just an opportunity to play a couple of rounds of golf during a vacation or conference. Indeed, they present the opportunity to experience the finest collection of golf courses in the country. "I know of no area... that has a more interesting variety of golf than Horseshoe Bay. I rank this among the best in the world," said Robert Trent Jones, Sr. As reported in USA Today’s "Golf Line," members of the American Society of Golf Course Architects, the National Golf Foundation and the Golf Course Superintendents of America selected the entire Horseshoe Bay golf complex as one of the "Best Built in the U.S. since 1962," placing all three courses "among the top one percent of golf courses in America."

Rookie Hess claims GCSAA tournament title

Adam Hess, the assistant superintendent at Augusta Pines Golf Club in Spring, Texas, defeated Tim Scott, CGCS, in a playoff to capture the 2010 GCSAA National Championship at the Greg Norman Course at PGA West in Palm Springs, Calif., on Feb. 7. Hess, playing in the Championship for the first time, parred the first playoff hole to defeat Scott, who missed a five-foot putt for a par of his own on the hole. This year, the tournament also featured a senior championship, with David Brown, GCSAA Class A superintendent at Flatirons Golf Course in Boulder, Colo., taking the crown. He was tied for seventh overall in the broader National Championship.
