Rounds 4 Research offers golfers a chance to play a round at a notable golf course or a local favorite, while funding turfgrass research that supports the future of the game. The Rounds 4 Research auction closes Sunday, May 1.

The program was designed to address a critical shortage in turfgrass research funding by auctioning donated rounds of golf online.

Rounds 4 Research allows GCSAA chapters and turfgrass foundations to participate as fundraising partners with the vast majority of proceeds going back to those organizations. In this way, these organizations can direct the proceeds to specific projects that will have the most significant impact in their local areas.

Environmental Institute for Golf, the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America, administers the annual fundraiser.
