If so, he or she is eligible for GCM’s Most Valuable Technician (MVT) awards program, presented in partnership with Foley United.

The program is designed to honor the best and brightest golf course equipment technicians in the industry, the men and women who play such a key role in keeping the tools of golf course maintenance up and running.

Nominations are narrowed to a field of three finalists by a team of industry judges. GCM readers then review the resumes and qualifications of the finalists and vote online for their favorite. The winner of the MVT contest is profiled in the magazine.
