Environmental Institute for Golf program on behalf of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America benefits research and education
Lawrence, Kan. (April 5, 2016) – The TPC Network of golf courses is supporting the 2016 Rounds 4 Research auction with 17 of its managed courses throughout the country generously donating rounds of golf. The Rounds 4 Research program, which offers golfers the opportunity to bid on tee times in support of industry research, will be open through April 10 at www.biddingforgood.com/eifg, with more than 700 rounds of golf available (each round listed is for two or four players).
Rounds 4 Research is a venture of the Environmental Institute for Golf (EIFG), the philanthropic arm of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America (GCSAA), and is presented in partnership with The Toro Co. Funds generated from the auction will support GCSAA research-related activities, its affiliated chapters and regional turfgrass organizations.
