My fellow lovers of golf and golf course architecture,
[/size][/color]
[/size]Once again the GCSAA through the Environmental Institute of Golf is asking for your help to raise money for vital turfgrass research by bidding on a tee time in the 2018 Rounds 4 Research auction.  This year's auction currently has over 1350 items in over 40 states and abroad available starting today and concluding at 10:00 pm EDT this coming Sunday, May 6.  Whether you're looking for something exclusive or just down the road, there is much to choose from and the proceeds fund vital research projects all across the country.  Over 600 items are located in the southeast (NC, SC, TN, GA, and FL).  Thanks in advance for your support![/color]

Sorry for the strange appearance of my post folks, not sure why that happened.  In other news, here is a link to a Golf Digest story about the auction program.  Enjoy.

For those wondering our auction is off to a fabulous start as we currently have generated 80% of last year’s total in the first 3 days.  Activity is up and we are on pace for a record smashing year.  Here’s a link to another great feature about the program which appeared on Golf Advisor.

I want to thank any and each of you for participating in the 2018 Rounds 4 Research auction!  With just under 24 hours to go we have already surpassed last year’s total.  For those of you interested you still have time to secure a great deal or more all the while benefiting turfgrass research so please feel free to bid.  Help us make the game we love even better!
