A portion of the access road  behind #14 green has been paved using asphalt. The surrounding area was then sodded using 6 pallets of zoysia. Below are before and after pics.

GIS

Last week I attended the golf industry show in Las Vegas. This conference offers many education opportunities and showcases many of the manufactures in our industry in a trade show event.

Day one and two consisted of 16 hrs. of continuing education.My first seminar (Expanding the Boundaries of Ultradwarf Bermudagrasses in the Upper South and Transition Zones) talked about the challenges of maintaining ultradwarf greens.Topics of discussion were aerification, pest control, topdressing, covering and painting. My second seminar (Greens Aerification and Water Management by the Numbers ) focused in depth on successful aerification programs and the use of wetting agent to maintain proper moisture in the greens profile.

Day three and four was the trade show event. During this time I had the opportunity to visit with many manufactures and see the latest in technology.

Attending the GIS allows me to maintain my class A status as a golf course superintendent through continuing education and keep up with the ever changing industry.
