Rocky Mountain Golf Course Superintendents Auction Rounds for Research

Jon Rizzi

How much would you bid for a round at The Club at Flying Horse, Glacier Club or Aspen Glen? Would you cough up a little more if you knew the money would fund research to ensure the playing conditions of your home course?

Rounds 4 Research, an innovative program administered by the Environmental Institute for Golf (the philanthropic organization of the Golf Course Superintendents Association of America), asks courses to donate rounds on which anyone can bid. The first online auction took place June 6-16 and netted $2,800.

The second online auction of the year runs August 1-11. Here's your chance to bid on a round on the aforementioned private clubs, as well as on stellar public layouts such as Gleneagles, Redlands Mesa and many more.

Bids on rounds at Colorado courses benefit the Golf Foundation of Colorado—the charitable arm of the Rocky Mountain Golf Course Superintendents Association—to support the areas of research grants, education programs, scholarships and awareness of golf ’s environmental efforts within the state.
