The results of Golfdom’s Turf Tweet of the year poll are in. Congratulations to the winner, Jon Urbanski, director of golf course grounds at Wilmington (Del.) CC.

Throughout 2022, Golfdom — in partnership with Syngenta — recognized tweets in each month’s issue. Urbanski’s tweet was featured in the September issue of Golfdom and took home the win after earning 63 percent of the vote and thus claiming the title of Turf Tweet of the Year.

September 2022: A big thank you

Jon Urbanski, (@jonurbo) director of golf course grounds at Wilmington CC, Del., shared this tweet:

“Best days of my life: day I got married to @KatieNieradka birth of two children @alexa_urbanski Johnny Boy & the @BMWchamps. This last point is not possible without our dedicated team of employees & our volunteers! THANK YOU TO ALL MUCH LOVE.”

In the tweet, Urbanski mentions the best days of his life involve his family and the BMW Championship did as well.

“Each day of the tournament, I walked the course with my daughter, son or wife,” Urbanski said. “I couldn’t have done it without them.”

In addition to his family, there were around 100 people including crew, volunteers and their families that helped run the course during the tournament.

“When we left the tournament break room in the morning to head out to the golf course, we played the Rocky song to get everyone pumped up,” Urbanski said. “It was a really cool morning.”

As the winner of our Turf Tweet of the Year award, Urbanski will receive gifts from the Golfdom team and from our friends at Syngenta.
