Former elite amateur Andrew Mason joins Tyler to tell the origin story of the Super-Scratch Foundation: what began as a superintendent-am event at Huntington Valley has become a national scholarship engine for turf students. Andrew shares how the team grew from giving $1,500 in year one to more than $160,000 this year, why club engagement is the unlock, how funds are awarded, and what's next: regional qualifiers, national championship, and a vision to support almost every turf student in the country. If you're a superintendent, club leader, or industry partner wondering "How do we help?", this is your playbook.
What You'll Learn
The simple insight that sparked Super-Scratch—and why "super-am" events resonate
How scholarships scaled from $1.5K to $160K+ in six years (and ~$400K annual revenue)
The funding mix: industry sponsors vs. growing club/member donations
How schools and sponsors help select recipients (need + merit + intent to stay in turf)
Why member education and superintendent communication are competitive advantages
The career arc no one talks about: superintendent → entrepreneur/executive
How any club can participate: per-member dues, cart-fee add-ons, foundations, events
