Golf
Course News is the newspaper for the golf course industry written for superintendents
and top management decision-makers. Coverage includes news and trends in
maintenance, management, development and supplier business. This site contains both the current issue and past
archive issues. It has a section on new products
and a section for resources or links to other golf/turf related web sites. You can even subscribe online to your very own copy
of the Golf Course News and the best part is that it is absolutely free. (Side Note: There is an interesting story on Eco-terrorism
in the July issue. We just happened to be in
Hubbard at Turf-Seed’s annual field day a few days after the damage had been
done. Amazing facilities, just a shame that these
people won’t leave research like this run its course.)
