Congratulations to @CRoseFricker and @PureSeed_RPMS!
A recognition from the business side of golf shines a light on the role turfgrass plays on every course. Pure Seed and Pure-Seed Testing are proud to share that Crystal Rose-Fricker, President of Pure Seed and Pure-Seed Testing, Inc., has been named a recipient of Golf Inc.’s 2026 Hilda Allen Award. Now in its fourth year, the award honors women who lead with vision, grit and generosity. For Crystal, this recognition is especially meaningful because it comes from the people who build, own and operate golf courses, clubs, resorts and golf communities. This honor is a powerful reminder that great golf starts with great grass, and that turfgrass belongs in the conversation about how courses are developed and managed. Congratulations, Crystal, on this well-deserved recognition. We are proud of your leadership and the impact of your work around the world.

Another proud primate moment: My favorite muni, Clearwater Country Club, is walk mowing on the weekends to upgrade the experience for public golfers. I am a big fan of walking the cleanups for plant health through the season. If you pay to play golf in the Tampa/St. Pete/Clearwater area you should consider playing at Clearwater CC; it is a Herbert Strong/Perry Maxwell gem with fantastic #nichegrass greens. Speaking of walk(ing) you can walk the course too. Weather is stunning; so go get some Vitamin D and a frozen transfusion. I hear they are quite popular. – at Siesta Key, FL

It's going to be amazing! Well done TTG
Another milestone at Naples Beach Club: sprigs are planted on the fairways and tees of the final two holes, and the greens continue to grow in beautifully. It’s been a long project with plenty of challenges, but the finish line is in sight. Incredible progress by the team.
