Spring Approaching and Education

Winter is coming to an end and we are anxious to get out on the course and begin cleaning up.  As I am writing this we still have about two inches of snow, but the temperature is expected to climb to 55 degrees today, so this may be the last we see of accumulated snow for the year.  Once the snow is gone I will go out and scout for winter damage due to disease or desiccation. 

Last week I attended the GCSAA (Golf Course Superintendents Assn.) conference and show in Las Vegas.  Educational seminars are offered every day and the equipment display is open for two days.  It’s a great opportunity to view the equipment and speak with the engineers for any piece of equipment that is being considered for purchase.  It is also a great opportunity to visit with colleagues that I haven’t seen in a year or so.  While at the show I attended several seminars that provided information that relates directly to projects that we are undertaking here at LGCC.  Networking with others that have already completed projects that we are planning is invaluable.
