Turf School Day Eighteen

Friday we had our construction and greens construction classes and they were very similar. IN both classes we discussed the differences and benefits of USGA and California Style greens proflies. Our construction teacher likes the California Style and the greens construction teacher/soils fertility teacher prefers the USGA Style.
We had our discussion in class about it and I came to the conclusion that both are good. The greens profile styles were developed by different colleges across the country and the schools in California that recieved grants develop an all sand profile. I think it might be that Californians have the perception that they need to develop something for hemselves. Just like how random things can cause cancer, in California...
We ended the day talking about soil chemistry. It was a very indepth lecture, that was a little over the top. I thought it could have been simplified in order to get the point across.

The end of the day I drove down to Trenton/Philadelphia to see Ryan Applonie. We went out for some pizza and had a good evening together.
