We're going to the dogs

171a5e1ac6a1bf77044535556271119b-.pngEvery year since 2002, the TurfNet Superintendent's Best Friend Calendar has showcased 14 golf course dogs and their tireless contributions to golf courses across the country and around the world.

 

Nominate your canine friend for a place in the next TurfNet Superintendent's Best Friend Calendar, presented again for 2016 by Syngenta.

 

Some tips to improve your chances of winning:

  • Shoot at your camera's highest resolution setting.
  • Images should be taken in a horizontal format; we can't use vertical photos.
  • Get down to the dog's level; don't shoot down at them from a standing position.
  • Fill the frame with the dog as much as possible, but try not to center your dog in the frame. Left or right orientation often can result in a more dramatic photograph.
  • Avoid clutter and distracting backgrounds.
  • A scenic course background is fine as long as the dog is featured prominently.

A panel of judges will select the 14 dogs for the calendar, including the cover and December 2015. To nominate your dog, email HIGH-RESOLUTION photos to Anna Murray at amurray@turfnet.com and be sure to include the dog's name, age and breed; photographer's name; owner's name, phone number, email address; and the name of the golf course where the owner and dog both work. Or, submit photos using our online submission form. Deadline for nominations is July 31.
