Rounds4Research Auction: Great Mix Of Rounds Offered For A Good Cause
/Rounds 4 Research is the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America and is administered by the Environmental Institute for Golf. Thanks to Toro and several hundred courses nationwide who donated rounds, their auction is raising funds for the GCSAA’s research arm.
Since golf course maintenance has never been better that should guilt you into looking, but in so many ways the sport needs more turfgrass and other industry research with an eye to the future, so check out the fundraising auction here. There are some incredible places that have opened their doors and some maybe not destined for a top 100 list, but it could be a where you want to play or just want to support the cause revisiting an old favorite.
A special tip of the cap to a few states for the sheer number of courses offered: Georgia (105), South Carolina (126), Tennessee (109) and South Dakota (44). Yes, there are at least 44 courses in South Dakota! Also special honors go to the TPC Network for offering all of its courses at varying starting bid asks.
The headliners? Based on exclusivity and intrigue alone, Ohoopee Match Club and Nanea take top prize.
Others of note: Harbour Town, Sand Valley, Kiawah Ocean, Sutton Bay and Wild Horse.
