GCSAA Research funded by The Institute

Supported by The Environmental Institute for Golf, the goal of the GCSAA Research Program is to fund research that is important to superintendents. To achieve this goal, and since growing conditions and the problems faced by superintendents vary greatly across the country, the research projects cover a wide range of topics.

The results from the research conducted is used to help develop golf course business solutions, best management practices and measurable targets enabling golf facilities to demonstrate progress in the advancement of environmental stewardship on golf courses.

The Institute, GCSAA affiliated chapters and allied organizations have together funded over $2.9 million in research since 1996.
