Hard to believe that it is the beginning of December as I sit and write this letter. The year has flown by, as it seems they all do as I get older. What a year for golf! Hard to believe that a worldwide pandemic would allow for an uptick in golf that hasn’t been seen since the ‘90s. Golf seemed to stay at the forefront of the news with LIV Golf starting and all the drama around the “split” between some of the world’s best and the PGA Tour.
Turfheads Grilling had another banner year. Our second year participating with the wonderful folks at has produced another cookbook with some great recipes. Our goal was to show the camaraderie among agronomy teams, friends and families sharing time together through one of America’s greatest pastimes … BBQing.
Several times this year, as I was traveling, the topic of Turfheads Grilling came up. It allowed us to have some good conversations with customers and our distributor partners beyond turf, and allowed us to get to know people better. A highlight from the year was delivering Jay Wade from Magnolia Green Golf Club his grill from being last year’s final grand prize winner. We enjoyed a day spending time with his crew and listening to some of their backgrounds, stories and overall banter. As I write this letter, we have one more grand prize to award. We look forward to seeing who wins and cooking for them in January.
We hope you enjoy the cookbook and take some time over the next year to share some of your recipes with us. AQUA-AID Solutions will be having a “cookout” in our booth 2649 at GCSAA Conference and Trade Show this year from noon to 3 p.m. Wednesday. Please come by the booth and enter to win a Pit Barrel Smoker.
