Dr. Kenworthy is an industry leader and well respected scientist. More importantly he shares his passion and knowledge through teaching and has major impact on students and promotion of beneficial natural grass. He is well deserving of this award. Congratulations!

I was honored to have the opportunity this morning to talk about industry advocacy with the Suncoast chapter of the Florida GCSAA. It’s always encouraging to see old friends and to be around the smart people in Florida‘s golf industry.

Orange County approved revisions to its fertilizer ordinance, eliminating the professional exemption and providing for excessive setbacks. Adam Jones and Dr. Eric Brown mounted a tenacious and evidence-based opposition to what is solely a political outcome. Thank you gentlemen!

On February 8th, Orange County, FL will consider revising its fertilizer ordinance. The current draft eliminates the professional exemption from the summer blackout and makes other adverse changes. EREF and others have been active on this issue. More to come.
