Golf Course Conditioning
Have you
ever wondered how golf courses are kept up? Most courses have
qualified Superintendents overseeing their grounds staff with an Assistant
Superintendent to back them up and sometimes even a 2nd or 3rd Assistant
on top of that! And then there's a Foreman, Mechanic, Irrigation
Specialist and Equipment Operators as well as the grounds staff itself.
Superintendents and Assistant Superintendents have all
had specialized courses in turfgrass management. They have had to
pass tests in order to qualify for pesticide licenses before they are
allowed to apply anything to the grass on the course. These days,
environmental awareness is uppermost in their minds and each one knows the
proper application and the right allocation to avoid any damage to the
surrounding environment.
All of Sterling Golf's Superintendents and Assistants
belong to the National and New England Golf Course Superintendents
Association and continue their education by enrolling in seminars to keep
up to date with new developments in the industry. We take pride in
their achievements and would like to pass along some of their knowledge.
