15th place in Turf Bowl out of 64 teams. Couldn’t be more proud of my teammates and my classmates who came down and made Guelph proud. Big thanks to @SyngentaTurfCA, GC Duke and SmithCo for sponsoring our teams and giving us the chance to have this experience!

@SyngentaTurfCA is proud to perennially support our next generation of Turf Managers in attending @GCSAA Turf Bowl. Good luck to the @UofGTurfClub and @OldsCollege teams as they compete in today’s event. #GCSAAConference 🇨🇦🙌

Divot recovery experiment @GuelphTurf underway. 6 remedies x 8 replications. Measuring total area recovery as a % over a 6 week span.

DTM Alumni are invited to come back to Guelph, meet the students, and reconnect with your peers over a game of golf. #GuelphTurf #UofGuelph #Turfgrass #Golf

Last morning view before year 2 begins at Guelph. Thank you to our crew for doing an amazing job this season, looking forward to getting back at it and to seeing everyone on campus!

Had a blast today at the @OntarioGSA assistant’s tournament! Unfortunately we got rained out but thank you to everyone at St.Thomas G&CC, the course was in incredible shape!

Not all beauty is out on the course, amazing work from our gardens team!

Thanks @Mike_turfgrass for hosting our DTM class for a round. Nice catching up with everyone and looking forward to year 2!

Light TD down on the East greens. Definitely one of my all time favourite jobs, just something about it!

Experimenting how fine fescues perform and grow on USGA greens mix vs bent grass under the same light and watering programs. Excited to see the results over the semester!

Learning from the pros! The first-year Diploma in Turfgrass Management students took a field trip to visit Rob Heggie @BMOField in Toronto, home to the Toronto Argonauts and the Toronto Football Club 🏈⚽

Gained a whole new perspective taking apart an engine today. Looking forward to troubleshooting and hopefully saving a mechanic a few minutes on their cell phone plan!

Great experience at @JamesDick_JDC today. Interesting to see all the work and attention to detail that goes into the Sand and Gravel we use at golf courses. Also an awesome view of the soil horizons!

With help from @CuttenFields & @TurfPlantProd we were able to conduct a fantastic workshop on professional networking & dining etiquette w/ our DTM students today. Thanks to @DavidDecorso and son Jack, as well as @BGCCTURF & @rico_ryguy for helping make this a great event!

Trees are an important part of many golf courses, but they can also cause a wide range of problems. This is why thoughtful tree management is an essential part of golf course maintenance. More Course Care Videos: bit.ly/USGACourseCare…
