We had an un-fore-gettable time at the OTF Annual Golf Outing!
Thanks to our sponsors and everyone who came out to Barrington Golf Club. Together, we chipped in to support over $20,000 in turfgrass scholarships and research!
“I would not be here in this role... if it wasn’t for those people.”
Take a minute to hear from OTF Vice President Brian Hall on why he’s so passionate about the Ohio Turfgrass Foundation. From starting out 27 years ago to leading at Sylvania Recreation District, Brian’s story is proof that this industry is built on incredible people helping each other succeed. 📈⛳
