I hope everyone is geared up for the dog days of summer! Everyone in the East are ready to go. Over the past few months we have had some good meetings and fellowship. In April, we meet at The Beaufort Club (formally North River Club) where Dr. Brandenburg was schedule to speak. Unfortunately, Dr. Brandenburg became ill and Mr. Matt Martin was able to help out and give us a very informative talk. Jonathan Birkett had the course in excellent shape and playing was a real treat. Lunch was especially outstanding with Shrimp n Grits. We always eat great at our meetings! On a side note, everyone from the East wish Dr. Brandenburg a quick and speedy recovery.
In May we had our annual scholarship fundraiser golf tournament at Benvenue Country Club in Rocky Mount. Dave Jacobs and his staff had the course in pristine condition. We had an excellent turnout with outstanding support from our sponsors. As special thank you to Triangle Chemical as our title sponsor as well as Green Resource, Regal, Revels John Deere, TSP and Southern Seed for close ups and long drives.
Congratulations to our winners:
1st Gross: Tri East Ag 1st Net Regal
2nd Southern Seed 2nd Kinston CC
Our next meeting is June 15th at Roanoke Country Club with Tommy Walston from East Carolina University. Also we will return to Kinston for our annual family night in August. The Down East Woodducks will be our host. I anticipate a great turnout. Make sure you contact one of our members and purchase a raffle ticket to support our Bill Sutton Scholorship Fund for several cash prizes.
In closing, Our thoughts and prayers have been with Tim Kreger and his family for his speedy recovery. Hope to see you out East soon!

I hope everyone had a safe and happy New Year and had you batteries recharged for another year on the links. The east has had a pretty busy start to our season thus far. We had our annual planning meeting in early January to plan a very informative meeting schedule for the year. First line of business was to organize our annual Pesticide Conference at Wayne Community College hosted by Rob Woods.
This year’s event was the most attended in recent memory. I owe the reason for good attendance to the great speakers that were present. Many thanks to Dr. Jim Kerns, NCSU, Dr. Fred Yelverton, NCSU, and Bland Cooper, Competitions Agronomist Official for the PGA. All speakers were very informative and interesting. Thank you Rob Woods for hosting this event.
Please stayed tuned to our website for a very exciting meeting schedule. Somethings new this year will include a return to Kinston for family night with the new “Down East WoodDucks”! Also, we return to Benvenue Country Club in May for our annual fundraising golf tournament!
Thank you to our Sponsors and members. Without you our association does not thrive!
