On Tuesday we attended an educational opportunity provided through the Greater London Area Golf Superintendents Association. The event was hosted by Westhaven G & CC. The association brought in a number of very informative speakers to present a number of topics. Topics discussed were disease management, the benefits of a proper aeration program, interpreting soil reports, the use of specific fertilizers to encourage bentgrass and manage disease pressure, using technology in an environmental approach to golf course management and environmental irrigation management and practices. Golf course superintendents, assistants, owners and sales representatives were all in attendance to share a wealth of knowledge. Professional development is integral to modern golf course management. We as an industry take advantage of the winter months to attend these events as time allows. I am off to the Canadian International Turfgrass Conference and Trade Show in Toronto later this week. This is an opportunity to network with colleagues and attend a number of informative seminars, trade shows and social events.
With the great weather that we have had the last two days, we were able to get the tees shaped and all of the tee mix out to the tees. In this picture here, Derek Vergeer (our contractor) is finish grading #2 Tee to be ready for sod. Unfortunately the forecast is for rain the next couple of days and could hold us up for a bit. We are doing out best to complete these projects in a timely manner, of course with this blog we will keep you updated.
