Frank S. Rossi, Ph.D.

This week on Turf Today, the boys sit down with one of the most respected voices in the turfgrass industry, Frank Rossi.

From his years at Cornell University to consulting, research, education, and podcasting, Frank has spent decades helping shape the way golf courses are maintained around the world. In this episode, Frank joins Adam Courchaine and Brian Laurent for a wide-ranging conversation on the evolution of golf course maintenance, sustainability in modern turf management, leadership within the superintendent profession, and some ideas on where the industry is heading next.

They discuss the pressure of delivering championship-level conditions while managing environmental expectations, how technology and robotics are changing golf maintenance, and what younger turf managers need to focus on to succeed in today's industry. Frank also shares stories from throughout his career, lessons learned working with superintendents across the country, and his thoughts on communicating the value of golf course maintenance to golfers and club members.

This episode is packed with insight, experience, and practical advice for superintendents, assistants, equipment managers, and anyone passionate about the turf industry.
