Longtime Friend of the OSU Turfgrass Program Receives GCSAA Award

Friday, 04 January 2008

Oscar Miles, one of the first subscribers to this web site back in 2001, and a longtime friend of the program has been awarded the 2008 GCSAA Distinguished Service Award. Oscar, a 45-year GCSAA member, is a retired superintendent who last worked at the Merit Club in Libertyville, Ill. He has served on various GCSAA committees and hosted 13 professional golf tournaments, including 12 Western Opens at Butler National Golf Club in Oak Brook, Ill., and Olympia Fields (Ill.) Country Club, as well as the 2000 U.S. Women's Open at the Merit Club. A past president of the Illinois Turfgrass Foundation, Miles also served on the board for GCSAA's Indiana chapter. An industry expert who has mentored more than 75 interns, Miles is renowned for decades of soil temperature research, and he was at the forefront of the lightweight fairway mowing concept, now considered standard practice. - source: GCSAA
