Poa Annua Raises Funds for Turfgrass Research Foundation at Capitol Hill

March 18 we traveled to Prattville Alabama to Capitol Hill for our annual Poa annua tournament. Proceeds from this tournament benefit Turfgrass Research through Alabama Turfgrass Research Foundation.

Dr. Scott McElroy spoke on his Poa research, showing our members the most recent updates on how to handle it on their golf courses.

The course proved to be tough with golfers battling a strong wind!

1st Place Team (L-R) – Daniel Hicks, Wade Hamilton and Michael Howell

2nd Place Team (L-R) – Jeremy Sutton, Matt Findley and Hunter Salts

3rd Place Team (L-R) – Daniel Berry, Chris Sheffield, Patrick Bell & Glenn McWhirter
