Tennessee showing up strong. 💪 Dan Johnson of Old Hickory Country Club is pictured with the funds Tennessee received through last year’s Rounds 4 Research auction. Our state ranked 5th nationally, raising $24,969.60 to support the future of turfgrass in Tennessee. Every dollar stays right here—fueling advocacy, scholarships, and education for our superintendents. This year’s auction runs April 20–26, and there’s still time for your course to participate and help grow the impact of this important fundraiser. Courses can even donate rounds during auction week—it’s truly never too late to get involved. If you participated last year, you should have already received outreach from GCSAA about joining again, and we’ll begin sharing participation forms in the coming week.

Once again, a team from Penn State takes first place in the Turf Bowl! Learn more about this year's winners: bit.ly/46yEudH
