WHAT THE HECK IS "TURF LIFE?"
TurfLife is more than just a brand—it's a celebration of the green spaces that bring us together. Founded in 2013 by Terrie Purdum, publisher of Golf Central Magazine (GCM), TurfLife has grown into a vibrant community that recognizes and appreciates all aspects of turf culture. It addresses the games we play and the jobs we do.
At TurfLife, our mission is clear: we are dedicated to giving gratitude and recognition to all those who work, play, and live it! We celebrate the vibrant and diverse world of turf, encompassing everything from sports and outdoor enjoyment to education and agronomist respect. Our commitment extends to promoting the responsible use of water and nutrients, ensuring a sustainable turf environment for generations to come.
TurfLife is all about you—whether you are competing on the lush greens of a golf course, maintaining the perfect pitch for a soccer match, working behind the scenes in "The Golfice" (our affectionate term for those who work in golf), or simply enjoying a picnic on a well-manicured lawn. We aim to introduce you to the passionate individuals who grow and maintain turf grass, showcasing the hard work and science that goes into creating and sustaining these beautiful green spaces.
By fostering a community that values the importance of turf, we hope to inspire everyone to appreciate the beauty and functionality of these environments. From the athletes who play on them to the caretakers who nurture them, TurfLife is a tribute to all those who contribute to the world of turf. Join us in celebrating this incredible lifestyle and making a positive impact on our planet!
