Abstract/Contents:Profiles Patricia A. Cobb, "retired extension entomologist with Auburn University," and her receipt of the 2001 Green Section Award. States that "Dr. Cobb is known through the industry as one of those rare educators who is able to share her extensive scientific expertise and wisdom in a manner that is understandable and practical. This trait, combined with her sense of humor, enthusiasn for turf insects, and the ability to 'tell it like it is,' makes her respected throughout the industry and always in demand for educational programs...Much of her work focused on how to manage mole crickets and fire ants, two of the most destructive turfgrass insects in the southeastern United States. Her techniques for mapping, sampling, and field research have become standards for mole cricket research....One of Cobb's greatest strengths is her ability to communicate with turfgrass professionals, whether they are seasoned veterans or in their first years as golf course superintendents. Her ability to deliver the message clearly is valued throughout the industry. She will let it be known when an error has been made, but she does so in a manner that is not to affix blame, but rather to educate, provide solutions, and help golf course superintendents be more successful in their profession." Also states that "as a result of her dedication, expertise, and caring for those around her, Dr. Cobb has had a tremendous positive influence on people in every phase of the turfgrass and academic communities. She has served as a challenging mentor and excellent role model for many in the turfgrass industry, always interested in student success and engaged with learning and positive outcomes. Her outstanding character, cooperative spirit, excellent communication skills, and boundless energy make her an ideal recipient of the USGA Green Section Award."
