Is USC’s baseball field nation’s best looking? Vote for it in online mowing contest

Screen grab

Is the groundskeeping at the University of South Carolina’s baseball park so beautiful it deserves an award? Your vote can decide.

A photo of Founders Park is entered into an online contest for the best mowing pattern in a college sports field, sponsored by the Sports Turf Managers Association. The aerial shot highlights the palmetto tree and crescent the USC grounds crew managed to mow into center field.

Groundskeeper Justin Scurry tweeted out a link to the contest, where his work is listed with the title “Under a Carolina Sky.” Gamecock baseball coach Mark Kingston gave him the thumbs up.

Check out the other contest entries in the contest on the STMA’s website.
