Sydney, Imagine you're being slammed with requests right now, but I wanted to circle back on a request that I believe Troy Lyons flagged for you yesterday. We Are Golf, a coalition of golf industry leaders, is hoping to meet with the Administrator next Wednesday. More information on the request is below. Thanks in advance for your consideration. Best, Jeff

Subject: Meeting request for Administrator Pruitt
Troy,
We represent a golf coalition you may be familiar with called We Are Golf (WAG). The coalition was formed in 2008 with the express purpose of giving decision-makers in Washington a more accurate picture of the golf industry and the game of golf in general. Negative assumptions about who plays, where they play etc. and a lack of recognition about how many jobs golf provides and the nature of those jobs had lead to punitive singling out of golf in policymaking and legislation. Apart from clearing the air on those fronts, WAG has also invested a lot of the coalition's efforts in advocating around environmental issues. It's that set of issues we of course would love to talk about with Administrator Pruitt and your appropriate EPA colleagues.
The golf industry has made huge strides in recent years when it comes to sustainable management of the two million acres of open space golf course land and water we have in this country. We have a great story to tell about huge steps we have taken forward to improve water quality and use, energy savings, pollution reduction and creation and protection of high quality fish and wildlife habitat. We want to stay on this trajectory and firmly believe we can continue to improve golf property stewardship to provide broad public benefits. In recent years, federal policies have unfortunately represented drags on our ability to do this. The golf industry is very excited about starting some fresh conversations with this administration and we'd like to start at EPA with your boss. WAG is eager to work with an administration that will have an interest in pausing to think through how any new policies or enforcement of existing policies will impact the golf industry's ability to increase the environmental value of golf.
The proposed attendees for this meeting are below. As of now the group is open from 10am to 4PM on Wednesday April 26,
Attendees:
Steve Mona, Chief Executive Officer, World Golf Foundation
