NTRF Annual Fundraising Golf Classic

A Day on the Course. A Shared Commitment to Research.

Thank you to everyone who made the 2026 Inaugural NTRF Fundraising Golf Classic such a memorable success.

More than a tournament, the Golf Classic brought the turfgrass community together for a day of connection, celebration and shared commitment to the research that strengthens our industry.

From great golf and exceptional food to friendly competition, on-course activities and meaningful conversation, it was an enjoyable and impactful day from start to finish — all in support of the National Turfgrass Research Foundation and turfgrass research across Canada.

A Generous Investment in Turfgrass Research

thank you ogsa

The NTRF extends its sincere gratitude to the Ontario Golf Superintendents’ Association (OGSA) for its generous $20,000 donation, presented on behalf of the OGSA Board and Executive Director Courtney White.

This meaningful contribution will help advance vital turfgrass research across Canada and reflects the OGSA’s strong commitment to the continued growth and success of our industry. Thank you for your incredible support!
