The Guelph Turfgrass Institute is closed today for Labour Day. Today, we recognize and celebrate the hard work of everyone who helps create and maintain the turfgrass surfaces where we play, compete, and gather. From golf courses and sports fields to parks and community green spaces, thank you to the dedicated professionals who keep these spaces safe, healthy, and enjoyable for us all.

Happy Labour Day!

Safety first! Usually we would NOT tuck coveralls into boots, but we are testing out a different type of disposable suit which includes attached "booties". The verdict? It feels like being entirely contained in a ziplock bag. Safe? Yes! Comfortable? Well...they're safe 🤷

Meet the team behind our Take-All Patch research at the University of Guelph: Efe, Dr. Katerina Jordan, and Kieran! This team is working to better understand Take-All Patch, a frustrating turfgrass disease that can cause circular patches of declining or dead turf.

âť—And we need your helpâť—

If you have Take-All Patch on your turf, send us a sample! Samples from golf courses and other turf sites help our researchers better understand the disease, the pathogens involved, and how we can improve management strategies.

Have a suspected Take-All Patch sample? Visit GuelphTurfgrass.ca/TAP2026 for more details!
