| Abstract/Contents: | Announces Joe Vargas Jr., Ph.D., as the recipient of the 2007 United States Golf Association (USGA) Green Section Award. Profiles Vargas, "a turfgrass pathologist at Michigan State University [in East Lansing, Michigan]." States that Vargas is "widely recognized as one of the country's premier experts on turf diseases, primarily in cool-season grasses." Describes Vargas' research, stating that "in the 1970s, he released breakthrough findings that claimed annual bluegrass did not die as a result of high temperatures in northern climates, but rather from anthracnose and summer patch." Mentions that "Vargas joined the MSU [Michigan State University] staff in 1968 after earning a doctoral degree from the University of Minnesota. Since then, he has also given more than 1,000 presentations globally and is universally known for his ability to impersonate Elvis Presley." |
