HUGE thank you to Foley Company for donating some of the most cutting edge reel grinders on the market to our program! We now can sharpen reels on property and educate undergrads on sharpening reels to better prepare them for the workforce! #turfgrass #partnership #research

Here ValhallaGolf for Agronomy Team meeting, this is a part of the people (125 total!) it takes to put the golf course together for a major championship. 10% of the agronomy team staff is a UT Knoxville Alum, or current student!!

Fantastic NE-SFMA Sports Field Forum! SoRocken Turf shared the Herculean effort underway for FIFA World Cup 2026: we toured perfectly maintained grass fields at Holy Cross; and watched new field testing trends. Thank you to our hosts, speakers, sponsors, attendees and volunteers!


Overall, not the result Kyle Cottam was wanting - but what a heck of a round 4!! You proved you belong!!!


SoRocken Turf would be proud as Kyley Dickson & Rhys Fielder are doing a phenomenal job chronicling everything they have learned to make the surfaces at the upcoming FIFA World Cup the best they can be. Well played.
