Fred V. Grau Turfgrass
Science Award Te Fred V. Grau Turfgrass Science Award was presented to Dr. Bruce Martin of Clemson University in recognition of significant career contributions to the turfgrass industry in the last 15 years. Tis is CSSA’s top academic award for a turfgrass faculty member.
As the Clemson University announcement of this honor reported, Dr. Martin, research and extension turfgrass pathologist for South Carolina, was nominated for the award by Beth Guertal, Auburn University professor of turfgrass and nutrient management. Guertal has known Martin for about ten years. She said she nominated Martin “because he is incredibly deserving” and is well- respected by those in the turfgrass industry.
“Dr. Martin is an invaluable resource to the turfgrass industry,” Guertal said. “Every superintendent knows exactly who is being referenced when another one says: ‘Well, I don’t know, what does Dr. Martin say?’ Everyone trusts Dr. Martin’s advice.”
