Turf School Day Twenty-Eight

Today we had a panel discussion with 3 former students. One was a director of parks and rec. and the other two are superintendents of different courses here in New Jersey. We discussed topics such as becoming a superintendent, dealing with employees, managing shrinking budgets and expectations. It was good to be able to ask "professionals" questions about topics we have been learning about.
We then had an effective communications class. I was selected as one of three students to get up and give a three minute re-cap of our previous class discussion. We did a good job on our speech considering we only had three minutes to prepare.
Our day ended talking about irrigation valves. Be discussed ball, gate, and electric valves. We also discussed the importance of putting an adequate number of valves in during construction to save time and resources in the future when problems may arise.
It was a good day. Currently I am prepping for two id quizzes we are having tomorrow. 10 trees and 25 weeds... should be a piece of cake :)
