So by now all of you have started to think about 2010 and if you are a golf course superintendent you’ve likely got your 2010 Superintendent’s Best Friend Calendar up on the wall.

BASF Professional Turf & Ornamentals has sponsored the calendar with TurfNet for the past three years.

The toughest part of putting this calendar together for the team at TurfNet is choosing among the many entries and determining just what dogs make the calendar.

Only 14 are chosen each year December 2009 through December 2010, plus the calendar cover. It’s been such a challenge that the last couple of years they have asked for help from BASF in narrowing down the ever growing field of entries.

But all is not lost for those dogs that did not make the calendar; they are featured here on TurfNet for 2010. It’s like a very own Facebook page for the rest!

Give them a look and have a great New Year!
