Upcoming Event

Tee Up for Research at the Poa Annua Golf Tournament!

The Alabama Turfgrass Association will tee up with the Alabama Golf Course Superintendents for our annual Poa annua Classic, Monday, March 18th, benefiting turfgrass research. Join us for a day of camaraderie, education and friendly competition on the links of the Robert Trent Jones’ Capitol Hill Senator Course in Prattville, Alabama.

We will start the morning off uncovering the latest strategies and technologies in turf management to effectively tackle Poa annua challenges. Led by our state’s expert, Dr. Scott McElroy of Auburn University, the educational session will offer a comprehensive exploration of control methods, integrated pest management, and sustainable practices.

Immediately following the presentation, enjoy a delicious lunch where you can network and fellowship with your turf peers in the clubhouse. After lunch, golfers will ascend to the course for an afternoon golf tournament. The Senator course of the RTJ Golf Trail at Capitol Hill is a Scottish-Links style course which features TifEagle Ultradwarf greens and more than 140 pot-hole bunkers and mounds 20 to 40 feet in heights, hiding the cart path and other holes from view. It will sure to be a golfers treat to play this beautiful course located centrally in the middle of our state.
