Turfgrass Research Classic & Field Day
Independence Golf Club, Midlothian, VA
Monday, May 20, 2024



 
The Virginia Tech Research Classic & Field Day returns to Independence Golf Club in Midlothian, VA on Monday, May 20th. Successful results last year, grossing over $58K in revenue thanks to our incredible sponsors. As always, this is a first-class event and funds raised go towards the Virginia Turfgrass Foundation.

This is the seventh consecutive year that Virginia Tech researchers have conducted turfgrass testing on the Short Course at Independence. In the morning, Virginia Tech will share their research findings on-site, followed by a 4-person scramble golf tournament and a VIP reception.

You won’t want to miss this event, filled with first class golf, food & beverage, prizes, networking and more! Sponsorship and golf teams are on sale now. A sellout is expected! For more information to become a team or hole sponsor, please reach out to staff@vgcsa.org.
