Ozark Turf Association Donates to Mizzou Turf Farm

The Ozark Turf Association has donated their Rounds 4 Research proceeds to the University of Missouri to support their Turf Research Farm.

The OTA received from their first Rounds 4 Research auction participation $756.00. The Board voted to forward those earnings to Dr. Xi Xiong and staff to help finance the maintenance of the research farm’s turf plots.

Dr. Xiong appreciated the support that the OTA has given the University Turf Research Farm over the years., as she thanked the Board for their efforts. The Turf Farm provides valuable research and solutions to the many turf related businesses in the state.

The OTA wants to recognize those facilities that donated rounds to the effort. They included Ledgestone C.C., Silo Ridge C.C. Twin Hills C.C. Whispering Hills G.C. and the three Springfield-Greene County Park Board Courses, Bill and Payne Stewart G.C. Horton Smith G.C. and Rivercut G.C.

The OTA Board has already committed to participate in next year’s Rounds 4 Research. We will update the dates and ways to be part of the process to our members later this year.
