2023 Turfheads Guide to Grilling

Prepping for Thanksgiving dinner seems to get easier every year. I think it may be because I’m getting older and simpler minded. I used to try and make all the dishes homemade just as my family did in yesteryear but now, I’m more into the prepared sides. For many years I deep fried my turkey, now I’m all about the slow smoked version of ol’ Tom. I have a Traeger smoker so the “set it and forget it” mentality allows for less chance for a screw up, and puts my wife’s mind at ease that all will be OK as we gather around the table to feast. The tradition of family, football, a cold cocktail in my hand and the smell of Traeger smoked turkey; it doesn’t get any better!

Year 3 for Turfheads Grilling has again been a success with our partner Golf Course Industry. We started out with a “Cookout” at our booth in Orlando and have enjoyed the banter and recipes that followed throughout this year. We hope you take a moment over the next few months and try some of the great recipes found in this year’s cookbook. It’s nice to see how cooking and grilling has allowed for many new relationships to be formed over the past three years.

We hope everyone has a wonderful and safe holiday season. Take time to slow down and enjoy the moments with family. Please stop by and say hello to us at SFMA conference in Daytona booth 724 and the GCSAA Conference and Show in Phoenix booth 4954.

Happy Grilling!
