Welcome to Dr. Tom - Turfgrass Expert

Welcome to my turfgrass blog...

 I have spent over 40 years in the turfgrass industry, beginning as an undergraduate student at Iowa State, then a graduate student at Virginia Tech, and then a professor of turfgrass science at The Pennsylvania State University until my retirement as Professor Emeritus of Turfgrass Science.  I have taught many turfgrass courses (both resident and on-line), conducted research, consulted, published a turfgrass pest management book, written several hundred scientific journal and trade magazine articles, provided turfgrass management expertise to golf courses nationally and internationally, and have provided expert witness testimony in a number of court cases (all of which lead to successful outcomes for the client).  My intentions for this blog are to provide timely information for the implementation of successful turfgrass management strategies for golf courses, athletic fields, lawns, commercial properties, and sod production operations world wide. 

Additionally, this blog is intended to be interactive and a forum for the exchange of ideas and the advancement of current concepts for successfully managing all turfgrass systems.  Further, with linkages to other social media sources, the information found herein will be useful for 'setting the record straight' on issues that require my expertise and experience.  I look forward to hearing from all that are interested.
