Want to be a nationally published turfhead? GCI is giving you a chance for a second straight year.
After debuting to industrywide praise in 2016, Turfheads Take Over will return this December. Contributing to the 2017 Turfheads Take Over issue is a painless process: write around 750 words about any industry-related topic, lesson or experience. Submissions along with applicable photos can be emailed to associate editor Guy Cipriano at gcipriano@gie.net. The deadline to submit an article is Oct. 31.
GCI publisher Pat Jones recommends submitting first-person essays. "This is a great chance to tell people why you're passionate about the business, why you're grateful to be part of it or to make a case for change,” he says. “Mostly, have fun with it."
Pinehurst Resort’s Bob Farren, Cypress Point’s Jeff Markow, Saucon Valley’s Jim Roney, Des Moines Golf and Country Club’s Rick Tegtmeier, head National Mall turf manager Michael Stachowicz, and Cleveland Metroparks CEO Brian Zimmerman were among the industry leaders who contributed articles to the 2016 Turfheads Take Over. The issue culminated with 2017 Old Tom Morris Award recipient Paul R. Latshaw writing the “Parting Shots” column.
