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 From: Jeff Sadosky [mailto:isadosky@forbes-tate.com] Sent: Monday, April 17, 2017 2:35 PM To: Lyons, Troy <lYons.troy@epa.gov> 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 17cv1906 Sierra Club v. EPA ED_001523B_00004591-00001 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 .1 Oam to 4PM on Wednesday April 26. Attendees: Steve Mona, Chief Executive Officer, World Golf Foundation Darell Crall, Chief Operating Officer, PGA of America Ty Votaw, Chief Marketing Office, PGA Tour Kathryn Carson, Chief Legal Officer, United States Golf Association Rhett Evans, Chief Executive Officer, Golf Course Superintendents Association of America Jay Karen, Chief Executive Officer, National Golf Course Owners Association Jeff Morgan, Chief Executive Officer, Club Managers Association of America Michael Kline, Director of Intellectual Property and Corporate Secretary, Srixon/Cleveland Golf US Golf Manufacturers Council More on We Are Golf and National Golf Day can be found here: http://wearegolf.org Would you mind getting this into the appropriate scheduling channels, and let me know what you'd recommend us doing to make this meeting possible? 17cv1906 Sierra Club v.
