Last week the management of our Golf course and Grounds Dept. attended the Ontario Golf Superintendents Association Annual Conference and Trade Show. This year's program was packed with seminars regarding the hottest topic of late, Integrated Pest Management. As all golf courses are required by provincial law to be fully certified (to continue to apply pesticides) by 2012, these were very well attended lectures. Speakers from all facets of the turf management field shared information including completing the certification process as well as implementation of alternative practices and products. This is always a great opportunity to network with friends, colleagues and instructors.
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.
