Turf School Day Thirteen

Today was the official end of our second week. Only eight more weeks!
We had our landscape management class this morning. The class was focused on the ecosystem of the pebble beach area. They have implemented several environmental practices into their maintenance such as, boardwalks along the coast, an extensive recycling program- both garbage and water, electric vehicles, and many other things. We also talked about the use of plants in the landscape. How plants can be used to enhance and protect the landscape as well as be used to provide privacy.
In our golf course construction class we talked all about drainage and its proper installation. I think most of the class has worked at courses that have improperly installed drainage.
We ended the class with a turf identification quiz. Luckily we only hav that class for two more weeks. The teacher is very boring.
Well week two is done, and week three should be exciting!
