John Deere Golf announced that University of Maryland was the winning team of the 2014 GCSAA Collegiate Turf Bowl. Turf care students from colleges and universities across the country participated in the competition last week at GIS in Orlando. In addition to the traveling trophy and a check for $4,000, the winning team will also receive the opportunity to volunteer at TPC Sawgrass to experience first-hand what it’s like to prepare a course for a PGA tournament. The Michigan State University team also won the first ever Turf Bowl Tweet Rally, and, as a result, took home the $650 prize for demonstrating school spirit.
