Turfgrass team poses in a cutout that says "U.S. Women's Open" in front of the golf course.

Breaking the Turfgrass Ceiling

In 14 unique short episodes, Breaking the Turfgrass Ceiling docu-series takes viewers to the US Open golf tournament and gets personal with the female crew as we hear heartfelt stories about a love for turf, maintenance, course architecture and the golf industry. We witness the tight bonds within this group of women who often feel like unicorns in an industry that is less than 2% women. We see them in action — mowing fairways in the dark, cutting cups at sunrise and hand mowing and hand watering the greens — for the best players in the world.
