2020
YEAR IN REVIEW E
from TNTurfTwitter
ach new year brings a time of reflection on the one just passed, and for many, sets the stage for the goals and plans of the one newly begun. It’s ironic that just one year ago, so many entered 2020 with great expectations of personal and professional growth, lofty goals, maybe a little travel, fun and excitement, only to be reminded that our best-laid plans are at the whims of mother nature, fate, (mis)fortune… whatever you want to call it. While none of us anticipated the path 2020 would send us down, the great spirit of innovation and resilience in the turf community has never been more evident than the last 12 months. From professors to distributors to golf course superintendents, sports field managers and their crews, each individual has adapted and pushed forward through difficult and uncertain times. While we’re continuing to hone our response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic challenges, it is encouraging to reflect on how our industry has overcome so many obstacles to continue our essential operations.
