Announcing the PACE Turf eMembership
Based on input from members who want the convenience, money savings and environmental sustainability of an all-electronic membership, PACE Turf is happy to announce its new, paperless eMembership option.
eMembers will receive all of the benefits of regular membership in PACE Turf, but with all services, including publications (Highlights, Clubhouse Editions, Insights and References) available exclusively online or via email.
PACE Turf will also continue to offer regular memberships, at $325 per year. This membership includes all eMember benefits plus print versions of PACE publications (Clubhouse Editions, Highlights, Insights, References and an Archive notebook) mailed to your address.
Benefits of eMembership:
- Simplify your life: reduce paper, mail and office clutter by printing out publications only when you need them.
- Save money: at $275 per year, eMembers will enjoy a 15% cost savings over regular membership. Discounts for 10 or more memberships are available; please contact us at pace@paceturf.org or 858-272-9897 for more information
- Help the environment: it’s amazing how many resources a paper mailing can generate, including fuel for air and ground freight, paper, envelopes, ink and electricity for printing.
- Continue to have the answers at your fingertips with PACE Turf’s state-of-the-art web and email member services, including:
- Email services: weekly Updates keep you current with breaking news on practices, research, pests and products and Weather Alerts (emailed 3 times per week) provide up-to-date pest, turf and weather forecasts customized for your location
- Online Weather Services: The Weather Update page provides forecasts of weather, turf growth and pest occurrence, and is updated several times a day for your location. The Weather History page gives you detailed information on past weather conditions at your location.
- The online Photo Gallery's hundreds of photos can be used for rapid pest ID and illustration of new techniques
- The online Member Forum allows PACE Turf members from around the world to easily communicate about new ideas, practices and products.
- Online publications can be printed out when and where you need them. Clubhouse Editions are one-page publications designed to educate golfers on the science behind your management practices. Highlights summarize key events of the past month in a 4-page color publication. References are essential tools for turf management, with publications on soil, weather and pest management guidelines. Insights are publications that translate science into practice with in-depth analyses of turf agronomic topics.
- The online Archive gets you the answers fast with a searchable library of hundreds of PACE Turf publications, research reports and references.
Interested in eMembership? For new members, just check the eMembership box on the online membership form, or on the mail-in membership form. For renewing members, you will be given the option to switch to eMembership at the time of your next renewal.
Updated soil guidelines
We have recently (June, 2008) updated the PACE Soil Nutritional Guidelines. Based on our soils database of over 13,000 samples, these guidelines can be used as a framework for interpreting your soil test data.
