The Pennsylvania Turfgrass Council is an organization dedicated to the improvement of the turfgrass Industry through education and research. Our primary mission is to provide financial support to the Center for Turfgrass Science at Penn State. Funds are raised through membership fees, conferences, and benefit golf tournaments. In 2004, the Board of Directors also announced the creation of the Pennsylvania Turfgrass Research Trust, an endowment fund that will allow those who benefit most from top quality golf courses, the golfers themselves, to contribute to their continued improvement.
On this Web site you will find background information on our organization and our fundraising efforts, reports on the research we support that is carrying the industry into the future, links to other industry resources, and copies of past PTC news releases to provide you a historical reference.
