I thought you might find this link interesting. It tells of local legend John Powless use of turf grass research plots for practice to maintain his "world class" standing as a tennis player. It has been through your donations to fund research at UW-Madison that helped create playing surfaces for all types of recreation. You should also be made aware that Mr. Powless writes a rather large check annually to the Wisconsin Turfgrass Association in gratitude for allowing him to practice on those plots.
If you are ever in Madison and would like a tour of the research center call me and I will set something up for you. Please follow the link below. (Madison.com would not let me simply embed the article for you to read here.) Mk
