“Inside the Ropes” AT THE 2023 GCSAA CONFERENCE

As exhibitors and attendees made their way inside the 2023 Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA) Conference and Trade Show in Orlando, they were greeted by a newly built golf hole with two tees and a fairway. There were interactive education sessions conducted along with a display of a USGA soil profile and drip irrigation box. The “Inside the Ropes” grass installation, which was coordinated by GCBAA Charter Member Sod Solutions Professionals and GCBAA, featured five premier golf grasses from three of Sod Solutions licensed producers.

Star Turf Farms provided Celebration® Bermudagrass, NorthBridge® Bermudagrass and CitraZoy® Zoysiagrass, Modern Turf supplied Mach 1 and Pike Creek Turf supplied TifEagle for the green. The grass was installed by Kirkpatrick’s Turf, a contracting business serving the metro Atlanta and the surrounding area for over 10 years.

“Sod Solutions Professionals was excited to partner with the GCBAA to help build the GCSAA Interactive Grass Learning Stage this year. In particular, we’d like to thank our many partners, including Star Turf Farms, Pike Creek Turf and Modern Turf for supplying the turfgrass and Kirkpatrick’s Turf for the installation,” said Mark Kann, Sod Solutions Director of Florida Operations.
