LAKELAND, FLORIDA (May 17, 2021) - Harrell’s, LLC CEO Jack Harrell, Jr. was formally honored with the Florida Golf Course Superintendents Association’s Marie Roberts Lifetime Service Award at the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club last weekend.

The Marie Roberts Lifetime Service Award is presented to those individuals who have made significant contributions to the Florida GCSA and Golf industry through participation, support and achievements in the industry. Harrell received the award Saturday.

Mr. Harrell has been a prominent member of the golf community in Florida and the GCSAA for many years, continually showing commitment through Harrell’s by providing financial support, ongoing educational support for industry members and representing the entire industry on its behalf via government relations work.

“Normally, the Florida GCSA uses the roundtable and reception before the annual golf championship and team scramble to recognize the award winners. But getting together was so tough in 2020 because of the pandemic that those events were canceled.” Said Florida Green editor Dan Jones.

Harrell joins a list of prestigious individuals dating back to the inaugural award in 2005. While the award is relatively new, being presented with it is no small feat as each individual has dedicated their career to the industry.

“It’s an honor to receive this award and be amongst the prestigious list of previous recipients,” Harrell said. “I love this industry; I was raised into it from a young age and it holds a special place in my heart. But I wouldn’t be here today without the support and dedication of the Harrell’s team. They make everything possible, every day, across all of our locations.”
