Turf School Day Twenty-Three

Today we had soil science. The teacher finally told us that she had been teaching us information that was not extremely useful. She told us we would start learning information that would be useful. So today we learned about the different soil colors and about pore space.
In our golf course construction class we learned about teebox construction. We learned how teeboxes are sloped and how to install tee box drainage. We also learned about the importance of having the teebox point in the correct direction down the fairway. We discussed possible solutions like mowing the teebox differntly to avoid costly construction.
We ended the day with our turfgrass identification final. It was pretty easy so I should have finished with an A!

  2. Yes, but now I know how the professionals design the teebox. I asked if the method we used this summer makes sense and it did.
