What happens when you combine perfect weather, outstanding turfgrass research, more than 150 attendees, 15 vendors, 21 sponsors, and a Turf Team ready for a good time? An amazing @VTTurfgrass Blacksburg Field Day, of course! The research talks from faculty, graduate students, and special guest speakers were top-notch, but the crowd, conversations, and fellowship may have been just as memorable. Seeing so many people turn out to support @VTTurfResearch was the real highlight of the week. And then there was the 3rd Goatley Rules Tournament… where “rules” may be open to interpretation, but fun and friendly competition are non-negotiable! A huge thank-you to @BlacksburgCC and @BillKeene5 for taking a chance on our crazy idea and letting us loose on their beautiful course. With all 18 holes and golf carts in play, we doubled participation… Proof that more course, more carts, and a few Goatley Rules with obstacles are a winning combination! Thank you to every attendee, vendor, sponsor, speaker, student, faculty member, staff member, and friend who made the week one to remember. We are grateful for your support, your enthusiasm, and your willingness to have a little fun along the way! @HarrellsLLC @LandscapeTurf @Solutions4Turf @bulldogfe @RockHavenTurf @SyngentaUS @RevelsTractor @synatek @genesis_dist @GrasshopperMowr @BeverageTracto1 @EnvuGolfUS @LuckEcosystems @HelenaSpecialty @MoghuUSA @smithturf @QuanCreekSod #EarthPro #TrinityTurf @VirginiaSFMA @VirginiaGCSA @VSGA1904 @VaTurfCouncil @vtspes @VTCals @VACoopExt @VaSodGrowers
