from Jason Pick, Instructor, Turf Management Program
New Olds College Golf Team
Olds College began this year by energizing the Alberta Colleges Athletics Conference with its new 2012 Golf team, filling the roster with nine team members among our turf diploma program students. Managed by golf course management instructors Ian Morrow (Head Coach) and Jay Leach (Assistant Coach), the new golf team was represented through three provincial qualifier tournaments. These inspiring students balanced full time classes with practice and competition, only narrowly missing the qualifying scores at Desert Blume Golf Club for national championships in Oshawa.
“I am fortunate to be able to say that I spent August 20th - 26th at The Vancouver Golf Club as part of the greens team. During this time period the VGC proudly hosted the LPGA CN Canadian Women’s Open. As a turf and business student at Kwantlen Polytechnic University I found this experience tremendously valuable.
UBC Botanical Garden is pleased to announce our new provincially-accredited Horticulture Training Program with the endorsement of Industry Training Authority of BC (ITA) and the Industry Training Organization, HortEducationBC (HEBC).
