Golfdom Gallery: April 2018

1. Coming down the mountain The 2018 Nor’easter Ski Day event in Killington, Vt., featured plenty of highlights. The Vermont GCSA won the coveted Nor’easter Cup, and Craig Craft (that might be Craig) was the fastest snowboarder, with a 35.27-seconds run.

2. Good company Before the Ohio Turfgrass Foundation Spring Tee-Off, we got the band back together. Left to right are Karl Danneberger, Ph.D., The Ohio State University; Matt Neff, assistant superintendent, Westwood G&CC, Powell, Ohio; Craig MacGregor, publisher, Golfdom; George Furrer, CEO, United Turf Alliance; and Seth Jones, editor-in-chief, Golfdom.

3. Up high Todd Apgar, Metro Turf (left), and Paul Blodorn, Quali-Pro, are ready to head back down the mountain after rehydrating at the Peak Lodge, elevation 4,241 feet.

4. Zoom! The fastest male skier was Scott Watelet (25:75 seconds, and that might be Scott, because he does look fast!), and the fastest female skier was Claire Whitaker (30:77 seconds.)

5. Support team The Winterberry Irrigation and Pumps team was a proud supporter of the Nor’easter Ski Day. Left to right are Matt Faherty, Tom Shea, Chad Epps and Chris Daigle. And hey, bonus — that’s Cornell’s Frank Rossi, Ph.D., and Craig Currier, Glen Oaks Club, Old Westbury, N.Y., sharing a laugh in the background.

6. Back at the Wobbly Barn (Left to right) Jesse Shannon, CGCS, Manhattan Woods GC, West Nyack, N.Y.; Chris Strong, CC of Troy, Troy, N.Y.; and Matt Lapinski, Greensight Agronomics, celebrate an injury-free ski day.
