Turf School Day Nineteen and Twenty

I purposely did not post yesterday, because we were going to have the exct same classes today. We had our "groundhog day" early.

We had our budgeting, professional development, and agronomy classes yesterday and today.

In our budgeting class we talked about chemical budgets and how to determine and schedule fungicide use. We discussed what goes into making our plans to spray and how we schedule based on one major event in the summer. For example, if we have a week long tournament, we will need to prepare for that event. We would start our schedule around preparing for that week.

In our professional development class we talked about setting goals and what qualifies us to become a superintendent.

Our agronomy class was 3 hours worth of bentgrass: velvet, colonial, and creeping. We also talked about bentgrass maintenance in hot climates. That class is SO exciting!
