| Description |

The Turfgrass Information Center (TIC) at Michigan State University contains the most comprehensive collection of turfgrass
educational materials publicly available in the world. The TIC has over 135,000 records in its primary database (TGIF-the
Turfgrass Information File) which includes the complete Turftwisters dataset, 30 years of advice from the USGA Green
Section Record in question/answer format. While over 94% of TGIF entries have been published since 1968, there are also
records for research and management issues going back to the 1920's.
