Topic:
Turf Disease Management in the era of reduced fungicide use.
Description:
The increasing restrictions on the use of conventional
synthetic fungicides show a need for effective alternatives. Some of
these alternatives include cultural controls, low-risk products,
biological control agents, and activated resistance against diseases.
Attend this seminar to learn about viable strategies for turf disease
management with reduced use of conventional fungicides, and to assess if
you would suffer withdrawal symptoms. This presentation will also
provide application rates and safety information of some of the
alternatives.
Topic:
Wholistic Greenkeeping

- How these factors influence one's leadership style
- How these factors in turn work to build a workplace culture that thrives.

Topic:
What is golf architecture relative to improving your course
Description:
With two decades of experience working to improve aged courses, golf architect Jeff Mingay talks about how he sees/analyzes existing layouts relative to making recommendations for improvement. Jeff also explains how golf course superintendents can employ the same lense and criteria to determine what's required to genuinely make their own golf courses better. Jeff will discuss opportunities at the teeing areas and why short grass always trumps rough, while also explaining that sand bunkers are overrated and only trees in the right places are necessary.
Topic:
Sharing for Strength: What’s Working Around the Maritimes?
Description:
The best part of this industry is superintendents willingness to share information. As a sales representative, I get a unique opportunity to see successes, and sometimes failures, during my travels. This session will aim to share some of those stories with the hopes of helping attendees leave with some new ideas that they can put to use at their own facilities.
