The Eastern Shore Association of Golf Course Superintendents, an affiliate chapter of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, has donated $10,000 to the Maryland Turfgrass Council. The funds will benefit the University of Maryland’s Turfgrass Research Center.
To date, the organization has donated more than $50,000 to the University of Maryland to go towards turfgrass research, which will benefit the industry in the Mid-Atlantic region. University of Maryland Professor Peter Dernoeden, Ph.D., said, “This donation will go a long way in enabling us to continue to provide golf course superintendents in Maryland and surrounding states with the most current information on pest management, bentgrass stress management, and numerous other aspects of turfgrass management.”
The association also recently donated an additional $10,000 to the Believe in Tomorrow Children’s Foundation during the annual Beach Bash held at Secrets Night Club in Ocean City on Sept. 22. The Children’s Foundation supports kids and their families who face life-threatening health issues. Over the past 10 years, the ESAGCS has donated more than $70,000 in cash and services to the Believe in Tomorrow’s Children’s House by the Sea.
