Since 2002, the TurfNet Superintendent's Best Friend Calendar has paid tribute to the most important job in golf - that of the golf course dog. Yes, 2002. That is much older than any other dog calendar out there.
Each year, the original golf course dog calendar highlights 14 dogs and their tireless contributions to the game across the country and around the world.Nominate your canine friend for a place in the 2017 TurfNet Superintendent's Best Friend Calendar, presented 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.
All dogs must belong to the course or to a course employee and spend significant time there. Submit your best photo; multiple entries of the same dog are discouraged and will not improve your dog's chances of being selected.
A panel of judges will select the 14 dogs for the calendar. To nominate your dog, use our online nomination form. Deadline for nominations is July 31.
