There are now 11 on-going research projects funded by GCSAA, which equates to $587,535 in funding for applied turfgrass research.
GCSAA’s research provides solutions to issues golf course superintendents face with the management of their facilities. Funding for the research comes to GCSAA through the Foundation and the generosity of its donors.
