#TurfheadsGrilling, Part 2

Social media food fest returns for a fiery second year … and your best recipes and imagery can land you a spot in a printed grilling guide along with a spice and sauce box.


Gas, charcoal or pellets? Back porch or backyard? Meat or … veggies? (Or maybe meat and veggies?) None of those questions will matter this year during our second annual #TurfheadsGrilling campaign — just as long as you’re outside, heating up a meal (or 10) and showing it off to the rest of the turf community.

After a fun-filled first year, #TurfheadsGrilling is back, celebrating everything about grilling. The program launches again this month, highlighted by social media shares on Fridays, a series of stories in the magazine and online, a road trip cookout and more. AQUA-AID Solutions will partner with us for the second straight year.

“AQUA-AID Solutions is looking forward to season two of the #TurfheadsGrilling campaign,” AQUA-AID Solutions President Sam Green says. “We partnered with Golf Course Industry in order to have an outlet for turf managers everywhere to share grilling recipes and tips. Golf Course Industry did a great job compiling the recipes and we had good feedback and success in year two. New ideas and of course the banter among the grilling specialist should make season two even better. We’re looking forward to getting the campaign launched and actively participating. “

Every month will feature Friday Grillday themes — early-season team cookouts on April 22, Memorial Day weekend tourney cookouts on May 27, member-guest cookouts on June 10, just to name the first three — but feel free to shoot and share whatever is on your grill any day of the week. If you include the #TurfheadsGrilling hashtag and mention @GCImagazine or @Solutions4Turf, your grillwork will almost definitely be shared on our Twitter page and certainly included for consideration for oursecond annual year-end grilling guide and a 2023 team cookout. We’ll also ship out tasty spice and sauce boxes to select grillers whose recipes and images are selected for the guide. You can formally submit recipes and images for consideration by CLICKING HERE or via email to Cipriano at gcipriano@gie.net. The program is open to EVERYBODY in the industry. 

Golf Course Industry relishes its role as an industry content innovator and our desire to execute well-done ideas resulted in a printed recipe guide in last December’s Turfheads Take Over issue and a #TurfheadsGrilling campaign that generated tremendous social media buzz,” editor-in-chief Guy Cipriano says. “Thanks to the support of a wonderful partner in AQUA-AID Solutions, we’re thrilled to continue this program. We can’t wait to see what recipes, ideas and photos our readers, followers and listeners submit this year.”

What are you waiting for? Spring is here and your grill won’t start itself.

Wait a second. It might actually start itself. Some of those fancy grills do that now. Well, all the same, even if your grill does start itself, spring is still here and Fridays are fast approaching.

Happy grilling!
