Golf course superintendents love their jobs but when their truck keys jingle before dawn no one can match the get-to-work enthusiasm of their dogs. Whether chasing geese or riding shotgun in the utility vehicle, the tail-wagging companions assisting course superintendents and crews across the country have earned Best Friend status.
The 2010 TurfNet Superintendent’s Best Friend Calendar, proudly sponsored by BASF, received 175 canine nominees from turf professionals across the country. While each dog is equally loved, only 14 (December 2009 through December 2010, plus the calendar cover) were chosen by a panel of judges to brighten turf care centers around the world.
Now you can view all 175 best-friend nominees, including the fortunate final fourteen. Link to the TurfNet Superintendent’s Best Friend Calendar nominee slide show here and see just how difficult the judging was.
