Turf Advisory Service
First started in 1953, this service permits individual facilities to reap the benefits
of on-site visits by highly skilled USGA agronomists located in Green Section offices
throughout the country. Each agronomist visits more than 130 courses annually. Their
experience helps golf course staff and officials produce the best possible golf
turf for the dollars that can be spent. The TAS's purpose is not to tell anyone
how to run a golf course or what products to buy. Rather, it seeks to bring a wealth
of information and an impartial yet concerned perspective regarding turfgrass growth
requirements, how these requirements might best be managed for golf, and ideas that
other golf courses have found to be beneficial.
