Golf course superintendents in the Carolinas will give researchers close to $300,000 in grants for new projects to further enhance the game’s economic and environmental sustainability. The Carolinas Golf Course Superintendents Association announced the grants during a conference at Pinehurst Resort earlier this week. Money to fund the grants was raised in the annual Rounds 4 Research online auction where golfers buy tee times donated by golf facilities.

The Quechee Club of Hartford, Vermont, was recently named course of the year by the New England Golf Course Owners Association. Announced at NEGCOA’s annual meeting and conference earlier this month, the longstanding award recognizes four key areas of golf course operations: the exceptional quality of the course, the exceptional quality of ownership and management, outstanding contribution to the local community and to the game of golf.
