For the second year in a row, Environmental Turf, Inc., was named Turf & Ornamental Company of the Year at the BoardRoom “Excellence in Achievement” Awards announced Sunday, June 14th at Boca West Country Club in Boca Raton, Florida.
 

ESPN’s Jim Kelly, who served as Master of Ceremonies at the event, presented the award to Environmental Turf’s President Stacie Zinn.
“The focus for Environmental Turf in 2008 was in helping to educate the golf and private club industry, including golf course architects, superintendents, managers and PGA Professionals at private clubs all over the world, about the innovative ways they can help the environment by grassing or regrassing their golf courses with low water use grasses such as SeaDwarf Seashore Paspalum,” said Zinn. “Winning this award based on those efforts is extremely gratifying. We’re very honored to be chosen as the recipient of this award for the second year running.”
