Become a Friend of Turfgrass Management

What are the benefits of becoming a member? The purpose of establishing Friends of Turfgrass Management is to increase and foster communication and involvement between WSU, alumni, and friends. This self-sustaining association will also encourage fund-raising among members and friends for the benefit of turf majors through scholarships and grants. Members will also manage accrued assets and provide volunteer leadership in support of the WSU turf management program’s vision and goals. Members will receive a regular newsletter with the latest turf program news and events, as well as access to a member-restricted contact list for communication purposes. Other Friends activities will include an ‘alumni of the year’ award, and annual golf tournaments at WSU’s premier Palouse Ridge Golf Club and other courses throughout the Pacific Northwest.

For more information, please contact Mike Bednar, superintendent at WSU’s Palouse Ridge Golf Club or Michael Neff, Professor in WSU’s Turfgrass Management program.
