The stage is set and the spotlight is shining brightly on the trailblazers within the turf care industry.   

It’s that time of year when we seek to honour the visionaries, the innovators, and the leaders who have left an indelible mark on the world of turf management. Yes, the nominations for the prestigious 2023 Turf’s Top Influencer Award are officially underway. 

In a landscape where precision and expertise are paramount, the Turf’s Top Influencer Award aims to find the individual or organisation that has made the most significant impact on the industry over the past year. It’s a celebration of those whose tireless efforts have contributed to the advancement of turf care, inspiring, innovating, and leading the way, all for the greater good of the business. 

With last year’s award being posthumously won by the late Steve Braddock, (Head Groundsman at Arsenal FC), Paul Larsen the 2021 title winner, then of Royal St George’s was keen to reflect on the honour of being voted Turf’s Top Influencer. “I feel that it’s not only a great recognition for myself, but also for the greenkeeping community as a whole,” he stated.  

As always, this year’s nominee pool will represent the pinnacle of excellence in their respective fields, standing alongside reputable winners and runners up such as Steve and Paul noted above, plus Karl Standley (Wembley), Paul Burgess (Real Madrid), Karl McDermott (MCC Lords), Craig Booth (Carnoustie Golf Links) and Myerscough College, Lancashire as an outstanding contributor to the industry. 

But the power to determine the next Turf Top Influencer doesn’t solely rest with a select few. The uniqueness of the award lies in the fact that the voting process is carried out by fellow professionals across the turf care spectrum. It’s a democratic celebration of influencers who possess an exceptional level of knowledge, experience, and skill set within their specific portfolios of expertise.
