Illinois superintendent wins Turfco’s 2022 Golf Giveaway promotion

Cantigny Golf Club director of agronomy Steve Kuretsky recently learned he was selected to receive a Turfco Torrent 2 Debris blower as part of the company’s 2022 Golf Giveaway promotion.

“I was tickled pink, of course, to win a new Turfco Torrent 2 Debris Blower,” said Kuretsky, whose job includes overseeing turf and grounds maintenance. Because the club already owns one Turfco blower, he’s intimately familiar with the machine’s benefits. “What’s really nice about the Turfco Torrent 2 Blower is that you can dial in the angle of the blower and set it to a certain point, so you can make the most effective use of it – rather than having to move the settings around while using it,” he said. “It takes the guesswork out of the job.”

Located about 30 miles west of Chicago, Cantigny Golf Club is part of the 500-acre Cantigny Park, which occupies the old estate of Col. Robert R. McCormick, former publisher of the Chicago Tribune. The course is popular, keeping the maintenance staff busy throughout the playable seasons. The Turfco Blower gets used regularly throughout the golf season to clear away grass clippings, general debris and deluge of falling leaves in autumn. “We like to keep the surface nice and clean for players,” Kuretsky said.

Valued at $8,032, the Turfco Debris Blower incorporates patented MagnaPoint Technology that locks in settings for a more productive angle at every pass – saving hours of crew time per job.

“Cantigny Golf Club is known as one of the top public golf courses In the Midwest, and we are happy to give this award to Steve knowing that it will be put to good use helping to keep the Cantigny golf courses looking and playing their best for years to come,” Turfco executive vice president Scott Kinkead said.
