There is a big storm brewing in the Northeast. We learned that class will be cancelled on Thursday...and possibly Friday.
We started our day with a weed identification and management class. The class has now shifted with more importance on management and control. We went over various biological control ideas and how we have experienced different control strategies on our courses.
Our next class was effective communication. We went over things we could do to get over our anxiety and fear of public speaking. We also discussed what to do if your run out of information to share if you still have time during your presentation. Some ideas were given to continue to talk, tell another story, and ask questions... The teacher simply told us to stop talking and sit dow
Our last class was irrigation. We talked about wiring systems and satellite boxes. At the end of the class we had a demonstration about making a lightning rod. The demonstration consisted of fusing two pieces of copper wire together using an electrical device and some solder. we hooked everything up and a guy in class was told to hold a button down until a light stopped blinking. When the light stopped blinking, he was supposed to let the button go. After he let the button go, he was supposed to press it one more time. He held the button down the whole time, and it sent an extra amount of energy to the solder and.........then fireworks resulted. There are now burn marks on the floor of our classroom.
After class we went to a presentation about the evolution of golf and how technology is changing the game of golf. It was not the greatest presentation, but we did get free pizza!
