GCI readers should expect another delightful December.
The peer-to-peer reading extravaganza known as “Turfheads Take Over” returns this year after a successful 2016 debut and an equally lauded 2017 remix. The premise of the issue is simple: offer readers a national forum to tell stories, share lessons, promote causes and offer guidance.
Close to 30 turfheads have contributed to the first two issues, including industry legends such as Paul R. Latshaw, Bob Farren, Ted Horton and Dean Graves. Both issues have inspired and engaged audiences, and Canadian superintendent Leasha Schwab’s 2017 article, “Sense of belonging,” represented one of the most read and discussed turf stories over the past year.
Contributing to the 2018 Turfheads Take Over issue involves writing around 750 words about any industry-related topic, personal lesson or previous experience. Submissions and applicable photos can be sent to senior editor Guy Cipriano at gcipriano@gie.net. Select articles exceeding 750 words will also be considered for publication depending on space. Email or call Cipriano at 216-393-0230 with questions or if you need further writing guidance. Deadline for submissions is Wednesday, Nov. 7.
“Turfheads is a place for passionate people to tell honest stories,” GCI publisher Pat Jones says. “What motivates you? What things should we change about our industry? What do you love about this community? It’s a great chance to tell your story or start a conversation about an important topic. If you need some help, just reach out to our team and we’ll give you some pointers. Mostly, don’t hesitate … just start writing!”
