TAS Services and Fees


Some of the services that a Turf Advisory Service visit include are:
On-Site Course Visit
This is the focal point of Green Section activity. Our goal is to help the golf course superintendent and Green Committee by providing the most practical turfgrass and golf course management information at the level of expenditure available at the facility. Each agronomist on the staff visits more than 130 courses annually, a service unmatched by any other organization.

Written Report
The report provides a permanent record of observations made during the on-site visit and the recommendations for continued development, both short and long term.

Year-Round Consultation
If questions or problems arise, calls are welcome any time. Particularly challenging problems will be discussed with other staff agronomists who face similar situations in their region.

Agronomic Reprints and Publications
A wide range of topics are available through your local Green Section office or Golf House. Recent additions include the USGA Recommendations for Putting Green Construction.

Regional Newsletter
In many regions a Regional newsletter is published several times a year containing pertinent regional information on golf and turf management topics.
