TURFGRASS RESEARCH PROGRAM & SUPERINTENDENT SUPPORT The Turfgrass Program provides three areas of turfgrass support to the Chicago District - diagnostics, research and education. On-site, rapid diagnostic support is the cornerstone of the program. The Turfgrass Program presents three educational events annually: the MAGCS/CDGA March Education seminar, the Medinah Club Leadership Conference, for private club Green Committee members and superintendents, and the Turfgrass Field Day on the Sunshine Course in Lemont. Contact Derek Settle, Senior Director of Turfgrass Programs, at dsettle@cdga.org or (630) 685-2307 for turfgrass-related questions.
