Milestones to Momentum: Celebrating at National

Orlando, FL–February 2-5, 2026

PAGCS Presence at the GCSAA Conference & Trade Show

As one of only a few chapters to have reached the centennial milestone ahead of GCSAA, PAGCS proudly carried that momentum to Orlando.

On the trade show floor, we showcased select pieces of our 100th anniversary logo merchandise — a visible reminder that our chapter’s legacy continues to shape the profession today.

President Pat Michener, CGCS, (second from right) was recognized on stage for earning his Certified Golf Course Superintendent designation — an achievement that reflects the leadership, professionalism, and commitment PAGCS champions.

And true to form, Pat ensured that PAGCS holds a permanent and prominent place in history by signing the official GCSAA Centennial flag — a symbolic moment connecting our chapter’s first 100 years to the next.

Not to be outdone, our joint hospitality event with GCSANJ once again proved to be a highlight of the week, topping attendance records while recognizing our valued sponsor partners in a whole new light. The packed room and spirited conversations reflected exactly what makes our chapter strong: relationships, camaraderie, and shared purpose.

From milestones to momentum, PAGCS continues to lead, celebrate, and build toward the future.
